Abstract
In this article we study the interaction between vortices and nuclei present in the inner crust of neutron stars, performing microscopic calculations based on quantum mean field theory. We find that the properties of the vortex are strongly influenced by finite size effects, leading to qualitative differences respect to results based on semiclassical approximations.
