Summary

The specific heat of the superfluid neutron gas in the inner crust of a neutron star is studied in the framework of a semi-classical model. We have found that in a wide range of densities and temperatures it is considerably larger than that associated with a uniform neutron superfluid. This result may have great relevance to the thermal evolution of a neutron star.
