Wigner-Seitz cells in neutron star crust with finite range interactions
arXiv:1006.2916 · doi:10.1088/0954-3899/38/2/025201
Abstract
The structure of Wigner-Seitz cells in the inner crust of neutron stars is investigated using a microcospic Hartree-Fock-BCS approach with finite range D1S and M3Y-P4 interactions. Large effects on the densities are found compared to previous predictions using Skyrme interactions. Pairing effects are found to be small, and they are attenuated by the use of finite range interactions in the mean field.
