Neutron star evolution with the Bemfica-Disconzi-Noronha-Kovtun viscous hydrodynamics framework
Harry L. H. Shum, Fernando Abalos, Yago Bea +3
The recently proposed first-order viscous relativistic hydrodynamics formulation by Bemfica, Disconzi, Noronha, and Kovtun (commonly known as the BDNK formulation) has been shown t…
Hydrodynamics of Relativistic Superheated Bubbles
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, David Mateos +1
Relativistic, charged, superheated bubbles may play an important role in neutron star mergers if first-order phase transitions are present in the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodyn…
Spinodal Gravitational Waves
Yago Bea, Jorge Casalderrey-Solana, Thanasis Giannakopoulos +5
We uncover a new gravitational-wave production mechanism in cosmological, first-order, thermal phase transitions. These are usually assumed to proceed via the nucleation of bubbles…
Relativistic Navier-Stokes description of the quark-gluon plasma radial flow
Yago Bea
The relativistic viscous hydrodynamic description of the quark-gluon plasma by Müller-Israel-Stewart formulations has been very successful, but despite this success, these theorie…
Bubble dynamics in a QCD-like phase diagram
Yago Bea, Mauro Giliberti, David Mateos +3
A line of first-order phase transitions is conjectured in the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics at non-zero baryon density. If this is the case, numerical simulations of neut…
