THE THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF COOLING STELLAR PLASMA EMITTING NEUTRINOS.
Abstract
The contribution of the URCA process to the thermal and electrical conductivities is calculated for the cooling stellar plasma, whose mass density is of the order of 1,000,000 g/cc. or more, and the temperature of which is of the order of 10 to the 9th power K, based on the assumption that the number of degenerate electrons is conserved in first order. The contribution is found to enhance the transport coefficients, but is negligibly small for the range of mass density 10 to the 6th power to 10 to the 15 power g/cc. (Author)
