Suprathermal viscosity of dense matter
Mark G. Alford, Simin Mahmoodifar, Kai Schwenzer
Motivated by the existence of unstable modes of compact stars that eventually grow large, we study the bulk viscosity of dense matter, taking into account non-linear effects arisin…
Large amplitude behavior of the bulk viscosity of dense matter
Mark G. Alford, Simin Mahmoodifar, Kai Schwenzer
We study the bulk viscosity of dense matter, taking into account non-linear effects which arise in the large amplitude "supra-thermal" region where the deviation of the chemi…
Shear viscosity from kaon condensation in color-flavor-locked quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Matt Braby, Simin Mahmoodifar
We calculate the kaonic contribution to the shear viscosity of quark matter in the kaon-condensed color-flavor locked phase (CFL-K0). This contribution comes from a light pseudo-Go…
