Abstract

Matter of subnuclear density in the inner crusts of neutron stars consists of neutron-rich atomic nuclei immersed in strongly degenerate relativistic gas of electrons and strongly non-ideal liquid of neutrons. Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of this matter are greatly affected by Coulomb and nuclear interactions and can be studied, in principle, from observations of thermal radiation of young (age ≲ 100 yr) neutron stars.
