Bulk viscosity in a hyperonic star andr-mode instability

Abstract: We consider a rotating neutron star with the presence of hyperons in its core, using an equation of state in an effective chiral model within the relativistic mean field approximation. We calculate the hyperonic bulk viscosity coefficient due to nonleptonic weak interactions. By estimating the damping timescales of the dissipative processes, we investigate its role in the suppression of gravitationally driven instabilities in the r-mode. We observe that r-mode instability remains very much significant for hype… Show more

“…This fact opens the possibility of investigating the internal composition of compact stars by studying the viscosity of the different possible high density phases which can appear in these stellar objects. A number of papers are currently present in the literature about the shear and bulk viscosities of nucleonic matter [3][4][5][6][7], hyperonic matter [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], kaon condensed matter [15,16], pure quark phases [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], and mixed phases [28]. Interestingly, by studying the so called "window of instability" of the r-modes, which is determined by the shear and the bulk viscosity of the matter, it was pointed out in [29] that a detection of a sub-millisecond rotating star would indicate the existence of a very viscous phase in the star with only quark or hybrid stars as possible candidates.…”

“…Unfortunately, there is great uncertainty about the amount of viscosity inside neutron stars since it depends sensitively on the composition of matter which is uncertain beyond few times the nuclear saturation density [51][52][53][54][55]. If the damping time due to viscous forces is long enough, radial pulsations in magnetars can leave an imprint in the microstucture of magnetar flare lightcurves opening a new window for the study of highly magnetized ultradense matter.…”

“…or direct and modified hyperonic Urca (see Equations ( 18) and ( 19)) contribute to the bulk viscosity and dominate it for densities above 2-3 times the nuclear saturation density. Hyperon bulk viscosity has been considered by several authors, see, e.g., [215][216][217][218][219][220][221][222][223][224][225][226][227][228][229].…”
