NEUTROSTRICTION IN NEUTRON STARS
AUTHOR(S) INFORMATION: Ignatovich V.K.
ABSTRACT
It is demonstrated that not only gravity, but also neutrostriction forces due to optical potential created by coherent elastic neutron-neutron scattering can hold a neutron star together. The effect of these forces on mass, radius and structure of the neutron star is estimated.
