P-wave superfluidity in neutron stars and liquid ³He

Abstract:
We discuss some of the similarities and differences between p-wave pairing in ³He and the ³P₂ neutron superfluid that is believed to exist in the interiors of neutron stars. The structure of vortices in the ³P₂ neutron superfluid is particularly interesting and is relevant to the astrophysics of pulsars.
