We discuss wave propagation in rotating superfluid neutron star cores, taking into account the vortex mediated mutual friction force. For models where the two fluids co-rotate in the unperturbed state, our analysis clarifies the role of…

We discuss slowly-rotating, general relativistic, superfluid neutron stars in the Hartle-Thorne formulation. The composition of the stars is described by a simple two-fluid model which accounts for superfluid neutrons and all other…

Neutron stars that are cold enough should have two or more superfluids/supercondutors in their inner crusts and cores. The implication of superfluidity/superconductivity for equilibrium and dynamical neutron star states is that each…

We examine radial oscillations of superfluid neutron stars at finite internal temperatures. For this purpose we generalize the description of relativistic superfluid hydrodynamics to the case of superfluid mixtures. We show that in a…

We study the dynamics of r-modes in the ocean of a magnetic neutron star. We modeled the star's ocean with a spherical rotating thin shell and assumed that the magnetic field symmetry axis is not aligned to the shell's spin axis. In the…

We model the nonlinear saturation of the r-mode instability via three-mode couplings and the effects of the instability on the spin evolution of young neutron stars. We include one mode triplet consisting of the r-mode and two near resonant…

Non-radial oscillations of neutron stars provide a powerful probe of stellar structure and relativistic gravity, but a fully general relativistic treatment for gravitationally coupled two-fluid stars with independently conserved currents…

We develop a relativistic multifluid dynamics appropriate for describing neutron star cores at finite temperatures based on Carter's convective variational procedure. The model includes seven fluids, accounting for both normal and…

The purpose of these notes is to give a brief review of superfluidity in neutron stars. After a short presentation explaining why and how superfluidity is expected in the crust and core of neutron stars, consequences on thermal evolution…

The evolution of a neutron-star r-mode driven unstable by gravitational radiation (GR) is studied here using numerical solutions of the full non-linear fluid equations. The amplitude of the mode grows to order unity before strong shocks…

For the first time nonradial oscillations of superfluid nonrotating stars are self-consistently studied at finite stellar temperatures. We apply a realistic equation of state and realistic density dependent model of critical temperature of…

We develop a fully relativistic framework to study the rotational response of gravitationally coupled two-fluid neutron stars within the slow-rotation approximation. Treating the two components as independently conserved perfect fluids…

We develop a theoretical framework that allows us to explore the coupled motion of neutron-superfluid vortices and proton-superconductor flux tubes in a gravitationally collapsed condensate, which describe neutron stars that form pulsars.…

This article starts by providing an introductory overview of the theoretical mechanics of rotating neutron stars as developped to account for the frequency variations, and particularly the discontinuous glitches, observed in pulsars. The…

R-modes of neutron stars could be a source of gravitational waves for ground based detectors. If the precise frequency $\sigma$ is known, guided gravitational wave searches with enhanced detectability are possible. Because of its physical…

We investigate the compressional modes of cold neutron stars with cores consisting of superfluid neutrons, superconducting protons and normal fluid electrons and muons, and crusts that contain superfluid neutrons plus a normal fluid of…

We present the results of the first study of global oscillations of relativistic stars with both elastic crusts and interpenetrating superfluid components. For simplicity, we focus on the axial quasi-normal modes. Our results demonstrate…

The presence of a viscous boundary layer under the solid crust of a neutron star dramatically increases the viscous damping rate of the fluid r-modes. We improve previous estimates of this damping rate by including the effect of the…

We describe recent progress in the numerical study of the structure of rapidly rotating superfluid neutron star models in full general relativity. The superfluid neutron star is described by a model of two interpenetrating and interacting…

We study the dynamical evolution of a large amplitude r-mode by numerical simulations. R-modes in neutron stars are unstable growing modes, driven by gravitational radiation reaction. In these simulations, r-modes of amplitude unity or…
