Pairing properties and specific heat of the inner crust of a neutron star
arXiv:1412.8410 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.91.015809
Abstract
We investigate the pairing properties at finite temperature of the Wigner-Seitz cells in the inner crust of a neutron star obtained with the recent Brussels-Montreal Skyrme functional BSk21. In particular we analyze the phenomena of persistence and reentrance of pairing correlations and their impact on the specific heat in the low-density region of the inner crust.
