Relativistic mechanics of neutron superfluid in (magneto) elastic star crust
At densities below the neutron drip threshold, a purely elastic solid model (including, if necessary, a frozen-in magnetic field) can provide an adequate description of a neutron star crust, but at higher densities it will be necessary to allow for the penetration of the solid lattice by an independently moving current of superfluid neutrons. In order to do this, the previously available catego...
متن کاملEffect of BCS pairing on entrainment in neutron superfluid current in neutron star crust
The relative current density n of “conduction” neutrons in a neutron star crust beyond the neutron drip threshold can be expected to be related to the corresponding particle momentum covector pi by a linear relation of the form n i = Kpj in terms of a physically well defined mobility tensor K ij . This result is describable as an “entrainment” whose effect – wherever the crust lattice is isotro...
متن کاملSuperfluid neutron star turbulence
We analyse the implications of superfluid turbulence for neutron star physics. We begin by extending our previous results for the mutual friction force for a straight vortex array to account for the self-induced flow which arises when the vortices are curved. We then discuss Vinen’s phenomenological model for isotropic turbulence, and derive the associated (Gorter-Mellink) form for the mutual f...
متن کاملDurability of Neutron Star Crust
How long do neutron star mountains last? The durability of elastically deformed crust is important for neutron star physics including pulsar glitches, emission of gravitational waves from static mountains, and flares from star quakes. The durability is defined by the strength properties of the Yukawa crystals of ions, which make up the crust. In this paper we extend our previous results [Mon. N...
متن کاملA realistic model of superfluidity in the neutron star inner crust.
A realistic model of superfluidity in the neutron star inner crust. Abstract A semi-microscopic self-consistent quantum approach developed recently to describe the inner crust structure of neutron stars within the Wigner-Seitz (WS) method with the explicit inclusion of neutron and proton pairing correlations is further developed. In this approach, the generalized energy functional is used which...
