Most of the neutron star cooling calculations with the only exception of Malone's (1974) have assumed an isothermal stellar core. Here we report on a neutron star cooling calculation which makes full use of the stellar evolution code and the recent thermal conductivity calculations by Flowers and Itoh (1976, 1979).
