Heavy baryons in compact stars

A Sedrakian, JJ Li, F Weber - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
We review the physics of hyperons and Δ-resonances in dense matter in compact stars. The
covariant density functional approach to the equation of state and composition of dense …

Recent developments in mathematical aspects of relativistic fluids

M Disconzi - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2024 - Springer
We review some recent developments in mathematical aspects of relativistic fluids. The goal
is to provide a quick entry point to some research topics of current interest that is accessible …

First-order general-relativistic viscous fluid dynamics

FS Bemfica, MM Disconzi, J Noronha - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
We present the first generalization of Navier-Stokes theory to relativity that satisfies all of the
following properties:(a) the system coupled to Einstein's equations is causal and strongly …

Projecting the likely importance of weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity in neutron star mergers

ER Most, SP Harris, C Plumberg… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In this work, we estimate how much bulk viscosity driven by Urca processes is likely to affect
the gravitational wave signal of a neutron star coalescence. In the late inspiral, we show that …

Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars

A Lovato, T Dore, RD Pisarski, B Schenke… - ar** and Out-of-Equilibrium Effects in Binary Neutron-Star Merger Remnants
PL Espino, P Hammond, D Radice, S Bernuzzi… - Physical review …, 2024 - APS
We study out-of-thermodynamic-equilibrium effects in neutron-star mergers with 3D general-
relativistic neutrino-radiation large-eddy simulations. During mergers, the cores of the …

Bulk viscosity from Urca processes: matter in the neutrino-transparent regime

M Alford, A Harutyunyan, A Sedrakian - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study the bulk viscosity of moderately hot and dense, neutrino-transparent relativistic
npe μ matter arising from weak-interaction direct Urca processes. This work parallels our …

Emergence of microphysical bulk viscosity in binary neutron star postmerger dynamics

ER Most, A Haber, SP Harris, Z Zhang… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
In nuclear matter in isolated neutron stars, the flavor content (eg, proton fraction) is subject to
weak interactions, establishing flavor (β-) equilibrium. However, there can be deviations …

Emergence of microphysical viscosity in binary neutron star post-merger dynamics

ER Most, A Haber, SP Harris, Z Zhang… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
In nuclear matter in neutron stars the flavor content (eg, proton fraction) is subject to weak
interactions, establishing flavor ($\beta $-) equilibrium. During the merger of two neutron …

Delta-resonances and hyperons in proto-neutron stars and merger remnants

A Sedrakian, A Harutyunyan - The European Physical Journal A, 2022 - Springer
The equation of state (EoS) and composition of dense and hot Δ-resonance admixed
hypernuclear matter is studied under conditions that are characteristic of neutron star binary …
