✦ Synopsis

The di erent super uid states that can occur inside neutron stars are reviewed, both in the crust region and in the core. The role of correlations in determining the values of the pairing gaps is emphasized. Comparison is made on one hand with pairing in nuclear structure calculations in ordinary (terrestrial) nuclei, and on the other hand with hints from phenomenological analysis of observational data.
