Unconventional rotational responses of hadronic superfluids in a neutron star caused by strong entrainment and a Sigma- hyperon gap.

چکیده

I show that the usual model of the rotational response of a neutron star, which predicts rotation-induced neutronic vortices and no rotation-induced protonic vortices, does not hold (i) beyond a certain threshold of entrainment interaction strength nor (ii) in the case of nonzero Sigma(-) hyperon gap. I show that in both of these cases the rotational response involves the creation of phase windings in an electrically charged condensate. Lattices of bound states of vortices which result from these phase windings can (for a range of parameters) strongly reduce the interaction between rotation-induced vortices with magnetic-field carrying superconducting components.

Inertial modes of neutron stars with the superfluid core

We investigate the modal properties of inertial modes of rotating neutron stars with the core filled with neutron and proton superfluids, taking account of entrainment effects between the superfluids. In this paper, the entrainment effects are modeled by introducing a parameter η so that no entrainment state is realized at η = 0. We find that inertial modes of rotating neutron stars with the su...

We investigate the modal properties of the r-modes of rotating neutron stars with the core filled with neutron and proton superfluids, taking account of entrainment effects between the superfluids. The stability of the r-modes against gravitational radiation reaction is also examined considering viscous dissipation due to shear and a damping mechanism called mutual friction between the superflu...

Baryon superfluidity and neutrino emissivity of neutron stars

For neutron stars with hyperon-mixed core, neutrino emissivity is studied under the equation of state, obtained by introducing three-body force universal for all baryons so as to assure the maximum mass compatible with the observation. By paying attention to the density dependence of the critical temperatures of the baryon superfluids, which reflect the nature of baryon-baryon interaction and c...

Coherence length of neutron superfluids

The coherence length of superfluid neutron matter is calculated from the microscopic BCS wavefunction of a Cooper pair in momentum space making use of the Bonn meson-exchange potential. We find that the coherence length is proportional to the Fermi momentum-to pairing gap ratio, in good agreement with simple estimates used in the literature, and we establish the appropriate fitting constants us...

The influence of strength of hyperon-hyperon interactions on neutron star properties. Abstract. An equation of state of neutron star matter with strange baryons has been obtained. The effects of the strength of hyperon-hyperon interactions on the equations of state constructed for the chosen parameter sets have been analyzed. Numerous neutron star models show that the appearance of hyperons is ...
