The region between the crust and the core of a neutron star (NS) may consist of a mantle of so-called nuclear pastas. If they exist, these exotic nuclear structures could significantly affect the transport and mechanical properties of dense matter, leaving their imprints on such NS observables as continuous gravitational-wave emission, NS oscillations and their damping, the spin period of...
We describe multi-quark clusters in quark matter within a generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck approach in a background gluon field that is coupled to the underlying chiral quark dynamics using the Polyakov-gauge and an effective potential for the traced Polyakov-loop. A higher multi-quark cluster of size n is described as a binary composite of smaller subclusters n1 and n2 (n1+n2=n) with a bound state...
The crust and mantle of neutron stars are exceptional laboratories for the theoretical study of clustering in nuclear matter, and their specific transport properties are known to play an important role in many different observable phenomena, such as the thermal emission of X-ray pulsars, quasi-periodic oscillations, giant flares, pulsar glitches, just to cite a few.
