Emergence of microphysical bulk viscosity in binary neutron star post-merger dynamics
Elias R. Most, Alexander Haber, Steven P. Harris +3
In nuclear matter in isolated neutron stars, the flavor content (e.g., proton fraction) is subject to weak interactions, establishing flavor (-)equilibrium. However, there can b…
Projecting the likely importance of weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity in neutron star mergers
Elias R. Most, Steven P. Harris, Christopher Plumberg +6
In this work, we estimate how much bulk viscosity driven by Urca processes is likely to affect the gravitational wave signal of a neutron star coalescence. In the late inspiral, we…
On the stability of strange dwarf hybrid stars
Mark G. Alford, Steven P. Harris, Pratik S. Sachdeva
We investigate the stability of stars with a density discontinuity between a high-density core and a very low density mantle. Previous work on "strange dwarfs" suggested that such…
