Comparison between the possible values of the superfluid moment of inertia fraction Iv(nB)/I and the possible values of x2 according to its posterior distribution P(x2). We plot the points (Iv(nB)/I,  nB), where the baryon density nB is expressed in units of the nuclear saturation density n0  =  0.17 fm−3. The inner-crust, i.e. nd <  nB  ≲  0.5n0, corresponds to the orange-shaded region. The upper panel refers to the BSk21 EoS (Goriely et al. 2010), the lower one to the SLy4 EoS (Douchin & Haensel 2001). The curves represent the points (Iv(nB)/I,  nB) when entrainment corrections are included (red-dashed) by using the values calculated by Chamel & Haensel (2006) and Chamel (2012) and when entrainment coupling is set to zero (gray-solid). The posterior P(x2) is superimposed as a background histogram, with the 16th, 50th and 84th percentiles shown with black dotted lines. The two green dash-dotted lines indicate an upper limit (corresponding to the 84th percentile) to the extension of the superfluid 2 region if the mass of the Vela is M = 2M.
