Abstract
- The evolution of stars with mass 5M⊙ with an initially cool neutron core (Thorne-Zytkow objects) is computed numerically, taking into account the heating of the neutron star by flows of heat released during the accretion of a surrounding envelope. The temperature of the neutron core does not rise to values at which the system could become unstable to rapid increases in the neutrino luminosity. In other words, the heating of the neutron core does not lead to a rapid collapse of the initial configuration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
