Dissipative processes in superfluid quark matter

Understand

We present some results about dissipative processes in fermionic superfluids that are relevant for compact stars.

• At sufficiently low temperatures the transport properties of a superfluid are dominated by phonons.
• We report the values of the bulk viscosity, shear viscosity and thermal conductivity of phonons in quark matter at extremely high density and low temperature.
• Then, we present a new dissipative mechanism that can operate in compact stars and that is named "rocket term".
