It is shown that in the strongly quantizing regime, the method can be efficiently implemented using new analytical solutions for the transitions between adjacent crustal layers. Detailed numerical computations are performed to assess the performance and precision of the method.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-25T14:10:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cold nonaccreted neutron star", "strongly quantizing magnetic fields", "outer crust", "analytical determination" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
