Comparison between the Thomas–Fermi and Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov Methods in the Inner Crust of a Neutron Star: The Role of Pairing Correlations

We investigated the role of a pairing correlation in the chemical composition of the inner crust of a neutron star with the extended Thomas–Fermi method, using the Strutinsky integral correction. We compare our results with the fully self-consistent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov approach, showing that the...
