We review the current status and recent progress of microscopic many-body approaches
and phenomenological models, which are employed to construct the equation of state of …

Near the surface of any neutron star there is a thin heat blanketing envelope that produces
substantial thermal insulation of warm neutron star interiors and that relates the internal …

Context. The interior of a neutron star is expected to exhibit different states of matter. In
particular, complex non-spherical configurations known as 'pasta'phases may exist at the …

A neutron star was first detected as a pulsar in 1967. It is one of the most mysterious
compact objects in the universe, with a radius of the order of 10 km and masses that can …

Even though the crystallized nature of the neutron star crust plays a pivotal role in describing
various fascinating astrophysical observations, its microscopic structure is not fully …

Context. Proto-neutron stars are born hot, with temperatures exceeding a few times 10 10 K.
In these conditions, the crust of the proto-neutron star is expected to be made of a Coulomb …

Context. In the cooling process of a non-accreting neutron star, the composition and
properties of the crust are thought to be fixed at the finite temperature where nuclear …

Context. The crust of a neutron star is known to melt at a temperature that increases with
increasing matter density, up to about 10 10 K. At such high temperatures and beyond, the …

The spin distribution of accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binary systems shows a
concentration of pulsars well below the Keplerian break-up limit. It has been suggested that …

By using a machine learning algorithm, we present an improved nuclear mass table with a
root mean square deviation of less than 200 keV. The model is equipped with statistical error …
