We present the results of a numerical study of the fluid $f$, $p$ and the gravitational $w$ modes for increasingly relativistic nonrotating polytropes. The results for $f$ and $w$-modes are in good agreement with previous data for uniform…
An extensive survey of gravitational-wave modes for uniform density stars is presented. The study covers stars ranging in compactness from $R/M=100$ to the limit of stability in general relativity: $R/M = 9/4$. We establish that polar and…
At densities below the neutron drip threshold, a purely elastic solid model (including, if necessary, a frozen-in magnetic field) can provide an adequate description of a neutron star crust, but at higher densities it will be necessary to…
The confluence of major theoretical, experimental, and observational advances are providing a unique perspective on the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter -- particularly its symmetry energy -- and its imprint on the mass-radius…
We investigate the dynamics of self-gravitating, spherically-symmetric distributions of fluid through numerical means. In particular, systems involving neutron star models driven far from equilibrium in the strong-field regime of general…
We consider a double polytropic cosmological fluid and demonstrate that, when one constituent resembles a bare cosmological constant while the other emulates a generalized Chaplygin gas, a good description of the Universe's large-scale…
We have computed quasiequilibrium sequences of synchronously rotating compact binary star systems with constant rest masses. This computation has been carried out by using the numerical scheme which is different from the scheme based on the…
In the case of the energy-momentum tensor related to "ordinary" matter (perfect fluid representing spin 1/2 and 1 fields), the equations of general relativity result in cosmological and gravitational collapse singularities--due to the…
We present a Newtonian multi-fluid formalism for superfluid neutron star cores, focussing on the additional dissipative terms that arise when one takes into account the individual dynamical degrees of freedom associated with the coupled…
It is widely believed that the global baryon content and mass-to-light ratio of groups and clusters of galaxies are a fair representative of the matter mix of the universe and therefore, can be used to reliably determine the cosmic mass…
We investigate the relation between the dynamical features of a supercooled liquid and those of its potential energy landscape, focusing on a model liquid with density anomalies. We consider, at fixed temperature, pairs of state points with…
We develop a fully relativistic approach for determining the response of a compact star to a time/frequency dependent (tidal) environment. The strategy involves matching the solution for the linearised fluid dynamics in the star's interior…
We review the covariant density functional approach to the equation of state of the dense nuclear matter in compact stars. The main emphasis is on the hyperonization of the dense matter, and the role played by the $\Delta$-resonances. The…
We investigate the slowly rotating general relativistic superfluid neutron stars including the entrainment effect in a two-fluid model, where one fluid represents the superfluid neutrons and the other is the charge-neutral fluid called the…
This two-part review summarizes interstellar turbulence and its implications. The first part begins with diagnostics and energy sources. Turbulence theory is considered in detail, including the basic fluid equations, solenoidal and…
In this review given at the Hot and Cool: Bridging Gaps in Massive Star Evolution conference, I present the state of the art in red supergiant star atmosphere modelling. The last generation of hydrostatic 1D LTE MARCS models publicly…
Superwinds and superbubbles driven by mechanical feedback from super star clusters (SSCs) are common features in many star-forming galaxies. While the adiabatic fluid model can well describe the dynamics of superwinds, several observations…
Next-generation gravitational-wave detectors are expected to constrain the properties of extreme density matter via observations of static and dynamical tides in binary neutron star inspirals. The required modelling is straightforward in…
If the observed millisecond variability in the X-ray flux of several neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is interpreted within a general-relativistic framework (Kluzniak, Michelson \& Wagoner 1990) extant at the time of discovery,…
We present new results on dynamical instabilities in rapidly rotating neutron-stars. In particular, using numerical simulations in full General Relativity, we analyse the effects that the stellar compactness has on the threshold for the…
