Corrections to elastic moduli, including the effective shear modulus, of a solid neutron star crust due to electron screening are calculated. At any given mass density, the crust is modelled as a body-centred cubic Coulomb crystal of fully ionized atomic nuclei of a single type with a polarizable charge-compensating electron background. Motion of the nuclei is neglected. The electron polarization is described by a simple Thomas-Fermi model of exponential electron screening. The results of numerical calculations are fitted by convenient analytic formulae. They should be used for precise neutron star oscillation modelling, a rapidly developing branch of stellar seismology.

  1. Constraining shear modulus of polycrystalline neutron star crust: Hashin-Shtrikman variational approach

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hashin-Shtrikman variational bounds show that the effective shear modulus of a polycrystalline neutron star crust is lower than the commonly assumed Voigt value, with narrower upper and lower limits.

  2. Bayesian analysis of the shear modulus in the neutron-star crust

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Bayesian modeling with informed priors reduces uncertainties in neutron-star crust shear properties, predicting torsional mode frequencies of 20-50 Hz compatible with observations.
