We have developed the anisotropic heat transport equation for rotating neutron stars. With a simple model of neutron star, we also model the propagation of heat pulses resulting from transient energy releases inside the star. Even in the slow rotation limit, the results with rotational effects involved could differ significantly from those obtained with a spherically symmetric metric in the timescale of the thermal afterglow.
