Equilibrium phase diagrams for neutron star matter at subnuclear densities are obtained at zero temperature. Spherical, rod-like and slab-like nuclei as well as spherical and rod-like nuclear bubbles are taken into account by using a compressible liquid-drop model. This model is designed to incorporate uncertainties in the nuclear surface tension and in the proton chemical potential in a gas of dripped neutrons. The resultant phase diagrams show that for typical values of these quantities, the phases with rod-like nuclei and with slab-like nuclei occur in the form of Coulomb lattice at densities below a point where the system becomes uniform. Thermal fluctuations leading to displacements of such nuclei from their equilibrium positions are considered through explicit evaluations of their elastic constants; these fluctuations can be effective at destroying the layered lattice of slab-like nuclei in the temperature region typical of matter in the neutron star crust.

  1. Nonlinear electrodynamics in magnetars: systematic effects on radius constraints and timing analysis

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    NLED alters photon propagation near magnetars, producing ~10% errors in inferred radii via ray-tracing and a minimal ~350 ns travel-time delay.

  2. Mass-Gap Neutron Stars from Vector \texorpdfstring{$f(R)$}{f(R)} Gravity Inflationary Deformations

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using four vector f(R) gravity inflation models and nine equations of state, the TOV solver finds that the MPA1 equation of state yields neutron star maximum masses around 2.75 solar masses, inside the mass gap.
