| contents | We probe the superfluid-superconductor dynamics of the rotating outer core of neutron stars through half-vortex states. By means of a generalized hydrodynamic model, where proton and neutron fluids are coupled by both dynamic entrainment and Skyrme SLy4 nucleon-nucleon interactions, we analyze single flux tubes in the proton-superconductor component of the system that thread proton vortices located faraway from neutron vortices. It is shown how they give rise to hydrodynamic perturbations in the coexisting neutron superfluid, and its structure remains unaltered for varying rotation rates and magnetic fields within ranges of observational values. |
