Zero sound in triplet-correlated superfluid neutron matter
read the original abstract
The linear response of a superfluid neutron liquid onto external vector field is studied for the case of $^{3}P_{2}-\,^{3}F_{2}$ pairing. The consideration is limited to the case when the wave-length of the perturbation is large as compared to the coherence length in the superfluid matter and the transferred energy is small in comparison with the gap amplitude. The obtained results are used to analyse the collisionless phonon-like excitations of the condensate of superfluid neutrons. In particular, we analyze the case of neutron condensation into the state with $m_{j}=0$ which is conventionally considered as the preferable one in the bulk matter of neutron stars. Zero sound (if it exists) is found to be anisotropic and undergoes strong decrement below some temperature threshold depending substantially on the intensity of Fermi-liquid interactions.

Formation of bound composite vortices of a singly-quantized $^1$S$_0$ vortex and half-quantized $^3$P$_2$ vortices in the $^1$S$_0$-$^3$P$_2$ coexisting phase in neutron stars
Gross-Pitaevskii simulations show Josephson coupling creates a bound composite of one ^1S0 SQV and two ^3P2 HQVs that can depin from pinning sites.
