Special Functions: Fractional Calculus and the Pathway for Entropy
by Hans J. Haubold (ed.)
Publisher: MDPI AG 2018
ISBN-13: 9783038426653
Number of pages: 306
Description:
Historically, the notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's.

Stellar Superfluidsby Dany Page, et al. - arXiv
Neutron stars provide a fertile environment for exploring superfluidity. It is not surprising that Cooper pairing occurs in dense matter since nucleon pairing is observed in nuclei as energy differences between even-even and odd-even nuclei.

Neutrinos and the Starsby Georg Raffelt - arXiv
The role of neutrinos in stars is introduced for students with little prior astrophysical exposure. We begin with neutrinos as an energy-loss channel in ordinary stars and how stars provide information on neutrinos and possible other particles.
