For beta-equilibrated nuclear matter we estimate the contribution to the bulk viscosity from purely leptonic processes, namely the conversion of electrons to and from muons. For oscillation frequencies in the kiloHertz range, we find that this process provides the dominant contribution to the bulk viscosity when the temperature is well below the critical temperature for superconductivity or superfluidity of the nuclear matter.

  1. Oscillations of Dissipative Neutron Stars: The Impact of Hyperonic Reaction Rates

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Finite hyperonic reaction rates, encoded as a complex sound speed, damp neutron-star f-modes and remove hyperonic g-modes before their restoring force vanishes, producing a tidal lag.
