Breakdown of Hydrodynamic Universality in Neutron Star Oscillations

Gabriel S. Denicol, Amanda Guerrieri, João V. M. Muniz +2

Hydrodynamic universality refers to the property that different formulations of relativistic dissipative hydrodynamics yield identical predictions in the asymptotic long-wavelength…

Radial Oscillations of Viscous Stars at Finite Temperature

Amanda Guerrieri, Gabriel S. Rocha, Gabriel S. Denicol +1

We study the radial oscillation spectrum of relativistic stars within Israel-Stewart and Navier-Stokes theories, extending previous analyses to include heat diffusion and a thermod…

Radial Oscillations of Viscous Neutron Stars: Zero Diffusion Case

Raissa F. P. Mendes, Amanda Guerrieri, João V. M. Muniz +2

The spectrum of radial oscillations of neutron stars is systematically studied within two frameworks of viscous relativistic hydrodynamics: the relativistic Navier-Stokes and Israe…

Branch-cut in the shear-stress response function of massless with Boltzmann statistics

Gabriel S. Rocha, Isabella Danhoni, Kevin Ingles +2

Using an analytical result for the eigensystem of the linearized collision term for a classical system of massless scalar particles with quartic self-interactions, we show that the…

Transport coefficients of transient hydrodynamics for the hadron-resonance gas and thermal-mass quasiparticle models

Gabriel S. Rocha, Gabriel S. Denicol

We calculate all transport coefficients of second order transient hydrodynamics in two effective kinetic theory models: a hadron-resonance gas and a quasiparticle model with therma…

Perturbative approaches in relativistic kinetic theory and the emergence of first-order hydrodynamics

Gabriel S. Rocha, Gabriel S. Denicol, Jorge Noronha

Hydrodynamics can be formulated in terms of a perturbative series in derivatives of the temperature, chemical potential, and flow velocity around an equilibrium state. Different fo…
