Figure 40: Cross section in the plane passing through the rotation axis of a neutron star of M = 1.82 M ⊙, rotating at 1200 Hz. The SLy EoS for crust and core [125] is used. The coordinates are defined by: x = rsinθ cosφ and z = rcos θ, while r, θ, and φ are metric coordinates, Equation (106View Equation). The contours are lines of constant density. Inner contour: crust-core interface. Intermediate contour: outer-inner crust interface. Outer contour: stellar surface. Figure made by J.L. Zdunik.
