We calculate the relativistic entrainment matrix Y_ik at zero temperature for nucleon-hyperon mixture composed of neutrons, protons, Lambda and Sigma^- hyperons, as well as of electrons and muons. This matrix is analogous to the entrainment matrix (also termed mass-density matrix or Andreev-Bashkin matrix) of non-relativistic theory. It is an important ingredient for modelling the pulsations of massive neutron stars with superfluid nucleon-hyperon cores. The calculation is done in the frame of the relativistic Landau Fermi-liquid theory generalized to the case of superfluid mixtures; the matrix Y_ik is expressed through the Landau parameters of nucleon-hyperon matter. The results are illustrated with a particular example of the sigma-omega-rho mean-field model with scalar self-interactions. Using this model we calculate the matrix Y_ik and the Landau parameters. We also analyze stability of the ground state of nucleon-hyperon matter with respect to small perturbations.
We calculate the finite-temperature r-mode spectrum of a superfluid neutron star accounting for both muons in the core and the entrainment between neutrons and protons. We show that the standard perturbation scheme, considering the rotation rate as an expansion parameter, breaks down in this case. We develop an original perturbation scheme which circumvents this problem by treating both the perturbations due to rotation and (weak) entrainment simultaneously. Applying this scheme, we propose a simple method for calculating the superfluid r-mode eigenfrequency in the limit of vanishing rotation …
Mutual entrainment effects in hot neutron-proton superfluid mixtures are studied in the framework of the self-consistent nuclear energy-density functional theory. The local mass currents in homogeneous or inhomogeneous nuclear systems, which we derive from the time-dependent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations at finite temperatures, are shown to have the same formal expression as the ones we found earlier in the absence of pairing at zero temperature. Analytical expressions for the entrainment matrix are obtained for application to superfluid neutron-star cores. Results are compared to those ob…

在相对论平均场模型和Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer理论下研究了超声波中子星中的$^{1}S_{0}$核超流体。以Reid软核相互作用为核子-核子相互作用,计算了中子和质子的$^{1}S_{0}$配对能隙。我们详细研究了超子自由度对中子星物质中$^{1}S_{0}$核子对能隙的影响。结果表明,超子的出现对$^{1}S_{0}$中子配对能隙的重子密度范围和大小几乎没有影响,质子配对能隙在该区域$ρ_B=0.0-0.393$ fm $^{-3}$也略有减小.然而,如果重子密度变得大于0.393 fm ${^{-3}}$,则$^{1}S_{0}$质子配对间隙明显增大。此外,超子的存在还使质子超流的范围明显扩大。在我们的结果中,超子改变了$^{1}S_{0}$质子配对间隙,这必然改变了中子星的冷却性质。
As mature neutron stars are cold (on the relevant temperature scale), one has to carefully consider the state of matter in their interior. The outer kilometer or so is expected to freeze to form an elastic crust of increasingly neutron-rich nuclei, coexisting with a superfluid neutron component, while the star's fluid core contains a mixed superfluid/superconductor. The dynamics of the star depend heavily on the parameters associated with the different phases. The presence of superfluidity brings new degrees of freedom -- in essence we are dealing with a complex multi-fluid system -- and addit…
A set of unified relativistic mean-field equations of state for hyperonic compact stars recently built in [M. Fortin, Ad. R. Raduta, S. Avancini, and C. Providencia, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 101}, 034017 (2020)] is used to study the thermal evolution of non-magnetized and non-rotating spherically-symmetric isolated and accreting neutron stars under different hypothesis concerning proton $S$-wave superfluidity. These equations of state have been obtained in the following way: the slope of the symmetry energy is in agreement with experimental data; the coupling constants of $Λ$ and $Ξ$-hyperons are det…
