Ages and thermal luminosities of neutron stars, inferred from observations, can be interpreted with the aid of the neutron star cooling theory to gain information on the properties of superdense matter in neutron-star interiors. We present a survey of estimated ages, surface temperatures and thermal luminosities of middle-aged neutron stars with relatively weak or moderately strong magnetic fields, which can be useful for these purposes. The catalogue includes results selected from the literature, supplemented with new results of spectral analysis of a few cooling neutron stars. The data are compared with the theory. We show that overall agreement of theoretical cooling curves with observations improves substantially for models where neutron superfluidity in stellar core is weak.

  1. Neutron contribution to the force on a proton vortex in superconducting neutron-star matter

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Normal neutrons scatter off proton vortices via the spatially varying condensate momentum, producing a purely longitudinal force proportional to relative neutron-vortex velocity that vanishes without neutron-proton Fe...

  2. Asymmetric Cannibal Dark Matter: Constraints from Neutron Star

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Asymmetric cannibal dark matter with Z3-symmetric 3→2 interactions depletes in neutron star cores, producing observable heating signatures that constrain dark matter parameters beyond standard annihilation models.

  3. Unveiling the nature of G6096: a likely hierarchical triple system

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    G6096 is likely a hierarchical triple of main-sequence stars rather than a binary hosting a white dwarf or neutron star.

  4. Gradient-Produced Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Steep matter-density gradients in neutron stars can produce neutrino-antineutrino pairs analogous to the Schwinger effect.

  5. Evolution of Calvera and Descendants of Calvera-like Central Compact Objects

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Calvera and similar CCOs evolve in the fallback-disc model into long-lived ordinary radio pulsars that occupy an observed cluster above the pulsar death valley.

  6. Constraining dark matter self-interaction from kinetic heating in neutron stars

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Observation of neutron stars at 1000-1200 K could constrain asymmetric dark matter self-interaction cross-sections by two orders of magnitude beyond bullet cluster limits.
