Superfluid density in disordered pasta phases in neutron star crusts
Zhao-Wen Zhang, C. J. Pethick
We calculate the superfluid density of nucleons in disordered pasta phases in the inner crust of neutron stars using an effective medium approach which parallels that previously us…

Proton superconductivity in pasta phases in neutron star crusts
Zhao-Wen Zhang, C. J. Pethick
In the so-called pasta phases predicted to occur in neutron star crusts, protons are able to move easily over large distances because the nuclear matter regions are extended in spa…

Elastic properties of phases with nonspherical nuclei in dense matter
C. J. Pethick, Zhaowen Zhang, D. N. Kobyakov
We consider the elastic constants of phases with nonspherical nuclei, so-called pasta phases, predicted to occur in the inner crust of a neutron star. First, we treat perfectly ord…
