abstract

The recently proposed first-order viscous relativistic hydrodynamics formulation by Bemfica, Disconzi, Noronha, and Kovtun (commonly known as the BDNK formulation) has been shown to be causal, stable, strongly hyperbolic, and thus locally well-posed. It is now a viable new option for modelling out-of-equilibrium effects in fluids, and has attracted wide attention in its potential applications to astrophysical systems. In this work, we present the first non-linear numerical simulation of spherically symmetric neutron stars using the BDNK formulation under the Cowling approximation. Using a simplified equation of state, we show that stable evolutions can be constructed within a restricted parameter space up to the simulation time we explored. From these simulations, we analyse the frequency content of the quasi-normal modes and the decay rate of the fundamental mode. This analysis serves as a first step towards constructing a fully consistent model of neutron stars using the BDNK formulation.

Radial Oscillations of Viscous Stars at Finite Temperature

gr-qc · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Heat diffusion introduces a distinct thermal mode sector in viscous star oscillations that transitions to propagating behavior above a critical overtone, realizing finite-size relativistic second sound.

Axial Oscillations of Viscous Neutron Stars

gr-qc · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Causal viscous relativistic hydrodynamics applied to neutron stars yields new axial mode families without perfect-fluid counterparts, including mode avoidance and long-lived modes.
