Abstract

We attempt to find the impact of a modified Tolman Oppenheimer Volkoff (TOV) system of equations on the luminosities of direct photons, neutrinos and axions for a particular axion mass in the presence of a magnetic field. We employ two different equation of states (EoSs) namely APR and FPS to generate the profiles of mass and pressure for spherically symmetric and non-rotating Neutron stars (NSs). We then compute the axions and neutrino emission rates by employing the Cooper-pair-breaking and formation process (PBF) in the core using the NSCool code. We also examine the possibility of axion to photon conversion in the magnetosphere of NSs. Furthermore, we investigate the impact of the magnetic field on the actual observables, such as the energy spectrum of axions and axion-converted photon flux for three different NSs. Our comparative study indicates that axions energy spectrum and axion-converted photon flux changes significantly due to an intense magnetic field.
