CRYSTALLIZATION OF NEUTRON MATTER (NEUTRON STARS)

Abstract

A neutron star is the collapsed core of a large (10 – 29 solar masses) stars. Neutron stars can be considered as reservoirs of high-density fermions, as these systems can be assumed to be the largest of its type in the universe. Neutron stars are the smallest and most dense stars of the size of 10Km radius, and their mass is roughly twice or more of the sun. We have calculated the energy per neutron in a neutron star for low and high density neutron stars. It is found that the energy per neutron increases as the density of the neutron star increases for a given value of the scattering length.
