Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models on a 3D mesh: V. The N2LO extension of the Skyrme EDF

G. Grams, W. Ryssens, A. Sánchez-Fernández +6

We present BSkG5, the latest entry in the Brussels-Skyrme-on-a-Grid (BSkG) series and the first large-scale nuclear structure model based on next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) Sk…

Neutron Star Inner Crust at Finite Temperatures: A Comparison Between Compressible Liquid Drop and Extended Thomas-Fermi Approaches

Guilherme Grams, Nikolai N. Shchechilin, Théau Diverrès +3

We investigate the effects of temperature on the properties of the inner crust of a non-accreting neutron star. To this aim, we employ two different treatments: the compressible li…

Filling fractions for the formation of nuclear pasta in neutron stars: semiclassical vs liquid-drop predictions

Nikolai N. Shchechilin, Nicolas Chamel, Andrey I. Chugunov

Historically, a sequence of nuclear pasta shapes was predicted to appear in the deepest region of the inner crust of a neutron star within the compressible liquid-drop picture, whe…

On variational trial functions in the extended Thomas-Fermi method

A. Y. Potekhin, A. I. Chugunov, N. N. Shchechilin +1

Parametrized nucleon density distributions are widely employed for the calculation of the properties of atomic nuclei and dense inhomogeneous matter in compact stars within the Tho…

Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models on a 3D mesh: IV. Improved description of the isospin dependence of pairing

Guilherme Grams, Nikolai N. Shchechilin, Adrian Sanchez-Fernandez +3

Providing reliable data on the properties of atomic nuclei and infinite nuclear matter to astrophysical applications remains extremely challenging, especially when treating both pr…

Unified equations of state for cold nonaccreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. V. Improved parametrization of the nucleon density distributions

N. N. Shchechilin, N. Chamel, J. M. Pearson +2

We previously studied the inner crust and the pasta mantle of a neutron star within the 4th-order extended Thomas-Fermi (ETF) approach with consistent proton shell corrections adde…
