Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have been fortunate to experience the blooming of a new golden era of astronomy. Great strides have been made both in the scope of observation and theory of compact stars and all disciplines encompassed by such fantastic objects. The scientific community witnesses, almost daily, an abundance of new research accompanying this new era of multi-messenger astronomy.
This Special Issue aims to explore the newest advances in the observation and theory of the thermal evolution and thermodynamics of compact stars. The cooling of these objects has captured our curiosity for more than 50 years, when the first signals of compact stars were observed. The study of the thermal properties of these stars has been successfully used to investigate their composition. Our aim with this Special Issue is to provide researchers with an outlet to present their most recent advances in exploring the thermal and cooling properties of magnetars, central compact objects (CCOs), XDIMS, transient neutron stars and many other areas of interest. We hope to obtain a fantastic compendium on the theoretical and observational progress in the study of the thermal properties of these incredible objects.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
