Pairing properties of clustered protons in neutron star crusts

Abstract

Using BCS formalism at finite temperature we evaluate the pairing gap and the specific heat of protons clustered in the spherical lattice nuclei of neutron star crust. It is found a negligible protonic contribution to the overall heat capacity of the neutron star crust.
