In a simplified quantum hadrodynamics model where neutrons, protons and Λ hyperons interact via the exchange of σ and ω mesons, we compare the energy of the usually assumed uniform phase of neutron star matter, to a configuration in which di-lambda pairs immersed in an uniform nucleon fluid are localized on the nodes of a regular lattice. The confining potential is calculated self consistently under the condition of β-equilibrium. We were able to obtain stable ordered phases for some reasonable values of the model parameters. The equation of state can be considerably softened if such a transition takes place. This could in turn have important consequences on the structure and cooling of neutron stars.
