We investigate the weak-interaction-driven bulk-viscous transport properties of $npe$ matter in the neutrino transparent regime. Previous works assumed that the induced bulk viscosity correction to pressure, near beta equilibrium, is linear…
In neutron stars, flavor-changing weak interactions determine the equilibrium fraction of protons over neutrons. In binary neutron-star mergers, violent changes in density modify this equilibrium value at timescales of milliseconds,…
After an introduction to the QCD phase diagram, the nuclear equations of state, and neutron star mergers, I discuss three projects related to transport and nuclear matter in neutron star mergers. The first is the nature of beta equilibrium…
In nuclear matter in isolated neutron stars, the flavor content (e.g., proton fraction) is subject to weak interactions, establishing flavor ($\beta$-)equilibrium. However, there can be deviations from this equilibrium during the merger of…
We present a numerical study of shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of symmetric nuclear matter, pure neutron matter and $\beta$-stable nuclear matter, in the framework of the Brueckner theory. The calculation of in-medium cross…
Recent studies invoke a unified description of different neutron star observables using metamodels, which parametrize the Equation of State (EoS) of neutron star matter close to nuclear saturation density in terms of few nuclear parameters.…
We clarify how the weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity $\zeta$ and the bulk relaxation time $\tau_\Pi$ of neutrino-transparent $npe$ matter depend on the nuclear symmetry energy. We show that, at saturation density, the equation-of-state…
The transport property of cold and dense nucleon matter is important for nuclear physics but is relatively less studied than that at finite temperatures. In this paper, we present a primary study of bulk and shear viscosities in the limit…
We calculate the coefficient of bulk viscosity by considering the non-leptonic weak interactions in the cores of hybrid stars with both hyperons and quarks. We first determine the dependence of the production rate of neutrons on the…
In this work, we have calculated the transport coefficients: shear viscosity and thermal conductivity inside the neutron star core. Our calculation is based on the relativistic kinetic theory approach using a modified BUU equation for…
The dissipative properties of relativistic strongly interacting nuclear matter significantly influence the damping of stellar oscillations and density fluctuations during compact star mergers. In this work, we derive the evolution equation…
We consider transport properties of the hypernuclear matter in neutron star cores. In particular, we calculate the thermal conductivity, the shear viscosity, and the momentum transfer rates for np$\Sigma^{-}\Lambda e\mu$ composition of…
Hydrodynamic simulations of neutron star mergers rely on the clear separation between the strong-interaction, weak-interaction, and hydrodynamic timescales. In this effective framework, weak Urca interactions are typically the slowest…
In order to evaluate qualitatively the space-time evolution of hot and dense nuclear matter the underlying equation of state and transport coefficients must be known. In this study a specific equation of state is studied: the pion gas. The…
We calculate thermal conductivity and shear viscosity of nucleons in dense nuclear matter of neutron star cores in the non-relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock framework. Nucleon-nucleon interaction is described by the Argonne v18 potential…
The early post-merger phase of a binary neutron-star coalescence is shaped by characteristic rotational velocities as well as violent density oscillations and offers the possibility to constrain the properties of neutron star matter by…
We compute the transport coefficients that appear in the fluid-dynamical equations for the bulk viscous pressure and shear-stress tensor using the 14-moment approximation in the limit of small, but finite, masses. In this limit, we are able…
The transport properties of neutron star matter play an important role in many astrophysical processes. We report the results of a calculation of the shear viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients of the hard-sphere fermion system of…
We review the calculations of the kinetic coefficients (thermal conductivity, shear viscosity, momentum transfer rates) of the neutron star core matter within the framework of the Landau Fermi-liquid theory. We restrict ourselves to the…
Extraction of bulk nuclear properties by comparing reaction observables to results from semiclassical transport-model simulations is discussed. Specific properties include the nuclear viscosity, incompressibility and constraints on the…
