Physics of Neutron Star Crusts
read the original abstract
The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the progress, which has been achieved over the last few years, in modeling neutron star crusts, both at the microscopic and macroscopic levels. The confrontation of these theoretical models with observations is also briefly discussed.

Interaction between nuclear clusters and superfluid phonons in the neutron-star inner crust
Microscopic DFT+QRPA calculation shows the effective coupling constant between nuclear clusters and superfluid phonons in the neutron-star inner crust is substantially smaller than hydrodynamical estimates due to supp...

Nonlinear electrodynamics in magnetars: systematic effects on radius constraints and timing analysis
NLED alters photon propagation near magnetars, producing ~10% errors in inferred radii via ray-tracing and a minimal ~350 ns travel-time delay.

Gradient-Produced Neutrinos
Steep matter-density gradients in neutron stars can produce neutrino-antineutrino pairs analogous to the Schwinger effect.

Superfluid $^3$He aerogel experiments as a laboratory neutron star analogue
Point-vortex simulations of 3He aerogels reveal crust-like depinning and core-like avalanche vortex creation that the authors argue can be mapped to neutron-star glitch dynamics.
