Wigner-Seitz cells in neutron star crust with finite-range interactions
Abstract
The structure of Wigner-Seitz cells in the inner crust of neutron stars is investigated using a microcospic Hartree-Fock-BCS approach with finite-range D1S and M3Y-P4 interactions. Large effects on the densities are found compared to previous predictions using Skyrme interactions. Pairing effects are investigated using finite-range interactions in the mean field.
