It is generally accepted that the inner crust of neutron stars is formed by a Coulomb lattice of nuclei immersed in a gas of quasi-free neutrons. We discuss the implications of the inhomogeneity of the crust and of nuclear shell effects on the linear response and on the superfluid properties of the system, as well as on the structure of vortices.

Abstract

It is generally accepted that the inner crust of neutron stars is formed by a Coulomb lattice of nuclei immersed in a gas of quasi-free neutrons. We discuss the implications of the inhomogeneity of the crust and of nuclear shell effects on the linear response and on the superfluid properties of the system, as well as on the structure of vortices.
