This research paper complements our earlier qualitative study of the effect of viscosity and thermal conductivity on the radial oscillation and relaxation of non-rotating neutron stars.
- The fundamental and first two lowest-frequency excited modes of radial oscillation have been computed in the high nuclear density regime for a set of seven realistic equations of state (EoS) as functions of central energy density.
- Various types of zero-temperature EoS of cold nucleonic and hybrid nucleon-hyperon-quark matter models are used in the inner core to determine the internal structure in and around the hydrostatic equilibrium states and investigate the influence of each EoS on the dynamical behaviour of non-rotating neutron stars.
- We confirm the principal results of earlier, related studies that suggest an underlying correlation between the frequency spectrum of the fundamental oscillation mode and the variation of the adiabatic index over the high nuclear-density regime.
