Proton and Neutron Superfluidity in β-stable Neutron Star Matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the effect of a microscopic three-body force on the proton and neutron superfluidity in the 1S0 channel in β-stable neutron star matter. It is found that the three-body force has only a small effect on the neutron 1S0 pairing gap, but it suppresses strongly the proton 1S0 superfluidity in β-stable neutron star matter. PACS numbers: 26.60.+c,21.65.+f, 21.30.Fe

Temperature-dependent pulsations of superfluid neutron stars
We examine radial oscillations of superfluid neutron stars at finite internal temperatures. For this purpose, we generalize the description of relativistic superfluid hydrodynamics to the case of superfluid mixtures. We show that in a neutron star, at hydrostatic and beta-equilibrium, the redshifted temperature gradient is smoothed out by neutron superfluidity (but not by proton superfluidity)....

A realistic model of superfluidity in the neutron star inner crust. Abstract A semi-microscopic self-consistent quantum approach developed recently to describe the inner crust structure of neutron stars within the Wigner-Seitz (WS) method with the explicit inclusion of neutron and proton pairing correlations is further developed. In this approach, the generalized energy functional is used which...
متن کاملProton and Neutron Superfluidity in Asymmetric Nuclear Matter
We investigate the 1S0 neutron and proton superfluidity in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter. We have concentrated on the isospin dependence of the pairing gaps and the effect of a microscopic three-body force. It is found that as the isospin asymmetry goes higher, the neutron 1S0 superfluid phase shrinks gradually to a smaller density domain, while the proton one extends rapidly to a much wide...
متن کاملSymmetry of the Neutron and Proton Superfluidity Effects in Cooling Neutron Stars
We investigate the combined effect of neutron and proton superfluidities on the cooling of neutron stars whose cores consist of nucleons and electrons. We consider singlet-state pairing of protons and triplet-state pairing of neutrons in the cores of neutron stars. The critical superfluid temperatures Tc are assumed to depend on the density of matter. We study two types of neutron pairing with ...
متن کاملThermal conductivity of neutrons in neutron star cores
The diffusive thermal conductivity of neutrons in dense matter [ρ ∼ (1−8)×10 g cm] of neutron star cores is calculated. The contribution from neutron–neutron and neutron–proton collisions is taken into account. We use the transition probabilities calculated for symmetric dense nucleon matter on the basis of the Dirac– Brueckner approach to the in-medium effects and the Bonn model of bare nucleo...
