Constraint on L obtained by identifying the QPO frequencies with crustal torsional oscillations, together with the experimental constraint on K0. The shaded region with hashed lines and the region enclosed by the dashed line denote the constraints on L, for stellar models with Ns/Nd = 0 and 1, respectively. From our analysis, we find L = 59.5–96.8 MeV. The fiducial value of L from experiments, L = 60 ± 20 MeV (M. B. Tsang et al. 2012; W. G. Newton et al. 2014; B.-A. Li et al. 2019), and the constraint obtained from the analysis of magnetar QPOs, L = 58–73 MeV (H. Sotani et al. 2018; H. Sotani 2024), are also shown with the light and dark gray shaded regions, respectively.
