Mesoscopic pinning forces in neutron star crusts

Stefano Seveso, Pierre M. Pizzochero, Fabrizio Grill +1

The crust of a neutron star is thought to be comprised of a lattice of nuclei immersed in a sea of free electrons and neutrons. As the neutrons are superfluid their angular momentu…

Equation of state and thickness of the inner crust of neutron stars

Fabrizio Grill, Helena Pais, Constança Providência +2

The cell structure of -stable clusters in the inner crust of cold and warm neutron stars is studied within the Thomas-Fermi approach using relativistic mean field nuclear models…

Imprint of the symmetry energy on the inner crust and strangeness content of neutron stars

Constança Providência, Sidney S. Avancini, Rafael Cavagnoli +7

In this work we study the effect of the symmetry energy on several properties of neutron stars. First, we discuss its effect on the density, proton fraction and pressure of the neu…

The neutron star inner crust and symmetry energy

Fabrizio Grill, Sidney S. Avancini, Constança Providência

The cell structure of clusters in the inner crust of a cold β-equilibrium neutron star is studied within a Thomas Fermi approach and compared with other approaches which include sh…

The cluster structure of the inner crust of neutron stars in the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approach

F. Grill, J. Margueron, N. Sandulescu

We analyse how the structure of the inner curst is influenced by the pairing correlations. The inner-crust matter, formed by nuclear clusters immersed in a superfluid neutron gas a…

Thermalisation time and specific heat of neutron stars crust

M. Fortin, F. Grill, J. Margueron +1

We discuss the thermalisation process of the neutron stars crust described by solving the heat transport equation with a microscopic input for the specific heat of baryonic matter.…
