Complexity and neutron star structure
- 1. Department of Theoretical Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki (Greece)
Description
We apply the statistical measure of complexity introduced by Lopez-Ruiz, Mancini and Calbet (1995) to neutron star structure. We continue the recent application of Sanudo and Pacheco (2009) to white dwarfs. The interplay of gravity, the short-range nuclear force and the very short-range weak interaction shows that neutron stars, under the current theoretical framework, are ordered (low complexity) systems.
