Pasta Phases in Neutron Star Mantle: Extended Thomas–Fermi vs. Compressible Liquid Drop Approaches

Nuclear pasta phases in the neutron stars mantle can affect the mechanical and transport properties of superdense matter, thus playing an important role in the dynamics and evolution of neutron stars. In this paper, we compare results obtained by the Extended Thomas–Fermi (ETF) method with the compr...
