Research Interests

A key question is the role of multiple fluid dynamics on the creation and emission of gravitational waves from neutron stars. Is such dynamics detectable by, say, future versions of LIGO? If yes, then novel aspects of the supranuclear equation of state will be revealed (such as entrainment, which means the momentum of a fluid element inside a neutron star is a linear combination of the fluxes of the independent superfluid/superconducting species). To model multiple fluid dynamics in neutron stars requires input from various areas:

  • General relativity and gravitation (neutron star structure, gravitational waves, etc)
  • Fluid dynamics (multiple fluxes, dissipation, etc)
  • Numerical methods
  • Condensed matter physics (superfluidity/superconductivity, stress calculations, etc)
  • Nuclear and particle physics (supranuclear equations of state, reaction rates, etc)

Basically, one needs each and every volume of Landau and Lifschitz on their shelves to pursue this kind of modeling!
