Mutual friction in superfluid neutron stars
We discuss vortex-mediated mutual friction in the two-fluid model for superfluid neutron star cores. Our discussion is based on the general formalism developed by Carter and collaborators, which makes due distinction between transport velocity and momentum for each fluid. This is essential for an implementation of the so-called entrainment effect, whereby the flow of one fluid imparts momentum ...
متن کاملThermal g-modes and unexpected convection in superfluid neutron stars
We suggest that specific thermal low-frequency g-modes can exist in superfluid neutron stars. They can be excited in the matter with a nonzero gradient of entropy per electron. We determine the Brunt-Väisälä frequency for these modes and demonstrate that they can be unstable with respect to convection. The criterion for the instability onset (analogue of the well-known Schwarzschild criterion) ...
متن کاملSuperfluid Neutron Stars
Neutrons stars are believed to contain in their interior superfluid neutrons and superconducting protons. This is suggested by nuclear physics calculations and by the very long relaxation time scales after ‘glitches’ (sudden increases of the neutron star angular velocity). Over the last years, we have been developing a formalism that can describe the relativistic hydrodynamics of mixtures of su...
متن کاملThermal Evolution of Isolated Neutron Stars
After a brief summary of neutron star cooling theory I present results which emphasize the importance of baryon pairing in the neutron star core. I show how the thermal evolution may be totally controlled by pairing for models which include only nucleons and models containing also hyperons. Finally, I consider the thermal evolution of ultramagnetized neutron stars whose existence has been infer...
متن کاملThe Thermal Evolution of Ultramagnetized Neutron Stars
Using recently calculated analytic and numerical models for the thermal structure of ultramagnetized neutron stars, we estimate the effects that ultrastrong magnetic fields B ≥ 10 G have on the thermal evolution of a neutron star. Understanding this evolution is necessary to interpret models that invoke “magnetars” to account for soft γ-ray emission from some repeating sources. Subject headings...
