Neutron stars are fascinating compact objects that provide extreme conditions for studying nuclear matter. By formulating equations of state (EoS) based on assumptions for each region within the star, we can investigate the internal structure of neutron stars. Although much of this research relies on the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff (TOV) equation—which treats the Einstein field equations under...
In the inner crust of neutron stars, a Coulomb lattice of nuclei exists, immersed in a sea of superfluid neutron gas. The interplay between these nuclear crystals and the background neutrons may significantly alter nuclear dynamics, a phenomenon known as the "entrainment" effect, which is crucial for understanding several astronomical phenomena.
In our study, we have developed new...
