Heat propagation in rotating relativistic bodies

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli

We investigate heat propagation in rigidly rotating bodies within the theory of general relativity. Using a first-order gradient expansion, we derive a universal partial differenti…

Gravitational pulsars: correlations between the electromagnetic and the continuous gravitational wave signal

Marco Antonelli, Avishek Basu, Brynmor Haskell

Neutron stars emitting continuous gravitational waves may be regarded as gravitational pulsars, in the sense that it could be possible to track the evolution of their rotational pe…

The Science of the Einstein Telescope

Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485

Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…

Insights into the physics of neutron star interiors from pulsar glitches

Marco Antonelli, Alessandro Montoli, Pierre Pizzochero

The presence of superfluid phases in the interior of a neutron star affects its dynamics, as neutrons can flow relative to the non-superfluid (normal) components of the star with l…

Anisotropic electron transport in the nuclear pasta phase

Mateus R. Pelicer, Marco Antonelli, Débora P. Menezes +1

The presence of nuclear pasta is expected to modify the transport properties in the mantle of neutron stars. The non-spherical geometry of the pasta nuclear clusters leads to aniso…

Continuous gravitational wave emission from neutron stars with pinned superfluids in the core

Brynmor Haskell, Marco Antonelli, Pierre Pizzochero

We investigate the effect of a pinned superfluid component on the gravitational wave emission of a rotating neutron star. Pinning of superfluid vortices to the flux-tubes in the ou…

Relativistic Liquids: GENERIC or EIT?

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli

We study the GENERIC hydrodynamic theory for relativistic liquids formulated by Ottinger and collaborators. We use the maximum entropy principle to derive its conditions for linear…

Symmetric-hyperbolic quasi-hydrodynamics

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell

We set up a general framework for systematically building and classifying, in the linear regime, causal and stable dissipative hydrodynamic theories that, alongside with the usual…

Stochastic processes for pulsar timing noise: fluctuations in the internal and external torques

Marco Antonelli, Avishek Basu, Brynmor Haskell

Young pulsars deviate from a perfectly regular spin-down by two non-deterministic phenomena: impulsive glitches and timing noise. Both phenomena are interesting per se, and may pro…

Simulating bulk viscosity in neutron stars. II. Evolution in spherical symmetry

Giovanni Camelio, Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli +2

Out-of-equilibrium reactions between different particle species are the main processes contributing to bulk viscosity in neutron stars. In this work, we numerically compare three d…

Simulating bulk viscosity in neutron stars. I. Formalism

Giovanni Camelio, Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli +2

The faithful inclusion of the effects of bulk viscosity induced by the presence of chemical reactions is an important issue for simulations of core-collapse supernovae, binary neut…

Extending Israel and Stewart hydrodynamics to relativistic superfluids via Carter's multifluid approach

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell

We construct a relativistic model for bulk viscosity and heat conduction in a superfluid. Building on the principles of Unified Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics, the model is d…

Unified Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics and the stability of relativistic theories for dissipation

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli

In a relativistic context, the main purpose of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics (EIT) is to generalize the principles of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the domain of fluid d…

Thermodynamic stability implies causality

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell

The stability conditions of a relativistic hydrodynamic theory can be derived directly from the requirement that the entropy should be maximised in equilibrium. Here we use a simpl…

Superfluid dynamics in neutron star crusts: the Iordanskii force and chemical gauge covariance

Lorenzo Gavassino, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell

We present a geometrical derivation of the relativistic dynamics of the superfluid inner crust of a neutron star. The resulting model is analogous to the Hall-Vinen-Bekarevich-Khal…

Statistical estimates of the pulsar glitch activity

Alessandro Montoli, Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell +1

A common way to calculate the glitch activity of a pulsar is an ordinary linear regression of the observed cumulative glitch history. This method however is likely to underestimate…

Superfluid vortex-mediated mutual friction in non-homogeneous neutron star interiors

Marco Antonelli, Brynmor Haskell

Understanding the average motion of a multitude of superfluid vortices in the interior of a neutron star is a key ingredient for most theories of pulsar glitches. In this paper we…
