Quark contribution to r-mode instabilities for several phases of deconfined quark matter
Basil A. Sa'd
R-mode instabilities lead to specific signatures in the evolution of rotating pulsars, and may provide a unique signature which can identify the phase of matter that exists in the…

Bulk viscosity of strange quark matter: Urca versus non-leptonic processes
Basil A. Sa'd, Igor A. Shovkovy, Dirk H. Rischke
A general formalism for calculating the bulk viscosity of strange quark matter is developed. Contrary to the common belief that the non-leptonic processes alone give the dominant c…

Bulk viscosity of spin-one color superconductors with two quark flavors
Basil A. Sa'd, Igor A. Shovkovy, Dirk H. Rischke
We consider the contribution of the Urca-type processes to the bulk viscosity of several spin-one color-superconducting phases of dense two-flavor quark matter. In the so-called tr…
