Predictions of NS cooling according to the minimal cooling paradigm (see Page et al. 2009). The light- and dark-gray lines represent the cooling curves of NSs with light- and heavy-element envelopes, respectively. The curves for intermediate-element envelopes are between them. Each envelope group includes 100 curves corresponding to four choices of 3P2 gaps, and five choices of neutron 1S0 and proton 1S0 gaps. The pink belt indicates the luminosity range of an NS in an age range of 5–6 kyr.
