Modelling the dynamics of superfluid neutron stars
In this brief summary I describe our recent work on superfluid neutron star dynamics. I review results on shear viscosity, hyperon bulk viscosity, vortex mediated mutual friction and the modelling of multifluid systems in general. For each problem I provide a set of questions that need to be addressed by future work.
متن کاملTemperature-dependent pulsations of superfluid neutron stars
We examine radial oscillations of superfluid neutron stars at finite internal temperatures. For this purpose, we generalize the description of relativistic superfluid hydrodynamics to the case of superfluid mixtures. We show that in a neutron star, at hydrostatic and beta-equilibrium, the redshifted temperature gradient is smoothed out by neutron superfluidity (but not by proton superfluidity)....
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 کاملSuperfluid vortices in neutron stars
A microscopic, quantum mechanical model for neutron vortices in the crust of a neutron star is presented. After a brief introduction to the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, which form the basis for our calculations, we present results for density distributions, vortex core sizes and vortex energies, both for an isolated neutron vortex and for the case when the vortex core overlaps with a cylindr...
متن کاملStationary structure of relativistic superfluid neutron stars
We describe recent progress in the numerical study of the structure of rapidly rotating superfluid neutron star models in full general relativity. The superfluid neutron star is described by a model of two interpenetrating and interacting fluids, one representing the superfluid neutrons and the second consisting of the remaining charged particles (protons, electrons, muons). We consider general...
