A quick guess is that it would correspond to the superfluid state,
around 2.14 K, which means you need an awfully large shell around the
star to keep it superfluid (and you need to do someting about the
background radiation, which is hotter; maybe it can be dealt with
using the black hole cooling).

Thanks you both! Comments like that really make me happy!
