چکیده
This review starts with a discussion of the hierarchy of scales, relevant to the description of superfluids in neutron stars, which motivates a subsequent elementary exposition of the Newtonian superfluid hydrodynamics. Starting from the Euler equations for a superfluid and a normal fluid we apply the tensor virial method to obtain the virial equations of the first, second, and third order and to compute their Eulerian perturbations. Special emphasis is put on the computation of perturbations of the new terms due to mutual gravitational attraction and mutual friction between the two fluids. The oscillation modes of superfluid Maclaurin spheroids are derived from the first and second order perturbed virial equations. We discuss two generic classes of oscillation modes which correspond to the co-moving and relative oscillations of two fluids. These modes decouple if the normal fluid is inviscid. We also discuss the mixing of these modes (when the normal fluid is viscous) and its effect on the dynamical and secular instabilities of the co-moving modes and their damping.

The effect of setting all T=0 two body interaction matrix elements equal to a constant (or zero) in shell model calculations (designated as < T = 0 >= 0) are investigated. Despite the apparent severity of such a procedure, one gets fairly reasonable spectra. We find that using < T = 0 >= 0 in single j shell calculations degeneracies appear e.g. the I =

The non–linear dynamics of self–gravitating irrotational dust is analyzed in a general relativistic framework, using synchronous and comoving coordinates. Writing the equations in terms of the metric tensor of the spatial sections orthogonal to the fluid flow allows an unambiguous expansion in inverse powers of the speed of light. The Newtonian and post–Newtonian approximations are derived in L...
