Superconducting Superfluids in Neutron Stars
نویسنده
چکیده
For treatment of the layers below the crust of a neutron star it is useful to employ a relativistic model involving three independently moving constituents, representing superfluid neutrons, superfluid protons, and degenerate negatively charged leptons. A Kalb Ramond type formulation is used here to develop such a model for the specific purpose of application at the semi macroscopic level characterised by lengthscales that are long compared with the separation between the highly localised and densely packed proton vortices of the Abrikosov type lattice that carries the main part of the magnetic flux, but that are short compared with the separation between the neutron vortices.

We investigate the modal properties of the r-modes with l = m in rotating neutron stars with the superfluid core, where l and m are the indices of the spherical harmonic function representing the angular dependence of the r-modes. For the modal analysis, we employ simple neutron star models, which are composed of the normal fluid envelope and the core filled with neutron and proton superfluids ...

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...
متن کاملCovariant Vortex In Superconducting–Superfluid–Normal Fluid Mixtures with Stiff Equation of State
The integrals of motion for a cylindrically symmetric stationary vortex are obtained in a covariant description of a mixture of interacting superconductors, superfluids and normal fluids. The relevant integrated stress–energy coefficients for the vortex with respect to a vortex–free reference state are calculated in the approximation of a “stiff”, i.e. least compressible, relativistic equation ...
متن کاملSuperfluidity in relativistic neutron stars
The purpose of these notes is to give a brief review of superfluidity in neutron stars. After a short presentation explaining why and how superfluidity is expected in the crust and core of neutron stars, consequences on thermal evolution and rotational dynamics are discussed. The second part summarizes a formalism that has been recently developped to describe the hydrodynamics of superfluids or...
متن کاملInertial 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...
