Title:     Superfluid heat transport in the neutron star crust

Abstract: The inner crust of neutron stars features a lattice of ions bathed in a
superfluid gas of neutrons. We write down the low energy theory of this phase
on the basis of the symmetries of the system and relate the low energy
constants with derivatives of thermodynamic functions. We calculate these
coefficients using models of neutron-nucleus interactions. We will discuss two
applications to observables that depend on the transport and structural
properties of the neutron star crust.
