Résumé : The presence of currents in the interior of cold neutron stars can lead to a state in which nucleons remain superfluid while the quasiparticle energy spectrum has no gap. We show within the self-consistent time-dependent nuclear energy density functional theory that the nucleon specific heat is then comparable to that in the normal phase, contrasting with the classical BCS result in the absence of super flows. This dynamical, gapless superfluid state has important implications for the cooling of neutron stars.
