Abstract
We calculate that the geometrical structure of the crystalline solid mixed phase of confined-deconfined hadronic matter in neutron stars—its form, size, spacing, and location in the star—is highly individualistic according to small changes in the stellar mass. This suggests a possible connection with the wide range of glitch behavior observed in different pulsars, since glitches are almost certainly associated with solid regions.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
