弹性中子星壳中超流体的拉格朗日微扰理论

Lagrangian perturbation theory for a superfluid immersed in an elastic neutron star crust

N. Andersson, B. Haskell, L. Samuelsson

摘要:

成熟中子星的内壳,富中子核的弹性晶格与中子超流体共存,对一系列天体物理现象产生影响。超流体的存在是我们理解脉冲星故障的关键,预计会影响热导率,从而影响表面温度的演变。在研究中子星动力学、讨论全球振荡和相关的不稳定性时,也必须考虑地壳和超流体之间的耦合。在本文中,我们发展拉格朗日微扰理论,注意到关键问题,如超流卷吸,潜在的涡钉扎,耗散相互摩擦和恒星的磁场。我们还讨论了核壳界面的性质。这些结果为一系列有趣的天体物理应用提供了理论基础。

英文摘要:

The inner crust of mature neutron stars, where an elastic lattice of neutron-rich nuclei coexists with a neutron superfluid, impacts on a range of astrophysical phenomena. The presence of the superfluid is key to our understanding of pulsar glitches, and is expected to affect the thermal conductivity and hence the evolution of the surface temperature. The coupling between crust and superfluid must also be accounted for in studies of neutron star dynamics, discussions of global oscillations and associated instabilities. In this paper we develop Lagrangian perturbation theory for this problem, paying attention to key issues like superfluid entrainment, potential vortex pinning, dissipative mutual friction and the star's magnetic field. We also discuss the nature of the core-crust interface. The results provide a theoretical foundation for a range of interesting astrophysical applications.
