Hyperon pairing gaps

Determine the pairing gaps of $Lambda$, $Xi$, and $Sigma$ hyperons in dense matter and quantify their net effects on neutron-star cooling and rotation.

Background

Hyperon pairing is poorly constrained because hyperon–hyperon interactions and medium corrections are uncertain. The review specifically asks for quantitative gaps and their macroscopic consequences.
