Superfluidity in beta-stable neutron star matter

Nuclear Theory 2009-01-23 v1

Abstract

In this work we present results for pairing gaps in β\beta--stable neutron star matter with electrons and muons using a relativistic Dirac--Brueckner--Hartree--Fock approach, starting with modern meson--exchange models for the nucleon--nucleon interaction. Results are given for superconducting 1S0^1S_0 protons and 3P2^3P_2 and 1D2^1D_2 neutron superfluids. A comparison is made with recent non--relativistic calculations and the implications for neutron star cooling are discussed.
