Two-layer compact stars with crystalline quark matter: Screening effect on the tidal deformability

S. Y. Lau, P. T. Leung, L. -M. Lin

(Abridged) It is well known that the tidal deformability of a compact star carries important information about the interior equation-of-state (EOS) of the star. The first gravitati…

Tidal Love numbers and moment-Love relations of polytropic stars

Kenny L. S. Yip, P. T. Leung

The physical significance of tidal deformation in astronomical systems has long been known. The recently discovered universal I-Love-Q relations, which connect moment of inertia, q…

Directional optical switching and transistor functionality using optical parametric oscillation in a spinor polariton fluid

Przemyslaw Lewandowski, Samuel M. H. Luk, Chris K. P. Chan +4

Over the past decade, spontaneously emerging patterns in the density of polaritons in semiconductor microcavities were found to be a promising candidate for all-optical switching.…

Tidal deformations of compact stars with crystalline quark matter

S. Y. Lau, P. T. Leung, L. -M. Lin

We study the tidal deformability of bare quark stars and hybrid compact stars composed of a quark matter core in general relativity, assuming that the deconfined quark matter exist…

Theory of optically controlled anisotropic polariton transport in semiconductor double microcavities

S. M. H. Luk, P. Lewandowski, N. H. Kwong +8

Exciton polaritons in semiconductor microcavities exhibit many fundamental physical effects, with some of them amenable to being controlled by external fields. The polariton transp…

Perturbative solution to the Lane-Emden equation: An eigenvalue approach

Kenny L. S. Yip, T. K. Chan, P. T. Leung

Under suitable scaling, the structure of self-gravitating polytropes is described by the standard Lane-Emden equation (LEE), which is characterised by the polytropic index . Her…
