Role of nuclear spin-orbit coupling on the constitution of the outer crust of a nonaccreting neutron star

The role of the nuclear spin-orbit coupling on the equilibrium composition and on the equation of state of the outer crust of a nonaccreting neutron star is studied by employing a series of three different nuclear mass models based on the self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method.
