The structure of a single vortex line Nygaard et al., PRL 90 (2003) Bogoliubov-De Gennes equations (BCS) Yu & Bulgac, PRL 90 (2003) Energy functional Bulgac and Yu, PRL 91 (2003) En. funct. inspired by Monte-Carlo calculations. Very low density, maybe not relevant for NS (rather for trapped atomic gas)
