Modelling the dynamics of superfluid neutron stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0610192 · doi:10.1007/s10509-007-9361-7
Abstract
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.
