Observations of massive ($M approx 2.0~M_odot$) neutron stars (NSs), PSRs J1614-2230 and J0348+0432, rule out most of the models of nucleon-hyperon matter employed in NS simulations. Here we construct three possible models of nucleon-hyperon matter consistent with the existence of $2~M_odot$ pulsars as well as with semi-empirical nuclear matter parameters at saturation, and semi-empirical hypernuclear data. Our aim is to calculate for these models all the parameters necessary for modelling dynamics of hyperon stars (such as equation of state, adiabatic indices, thermodynamic derivatives, relativistic entrainment matrix, etc.), making them available for a potential user. To this aim a general non-linear hadronic Lagrangian involving $sigmaomegarhophisigma^ast$ meson fields, as well as quartic terms in vector-meson fields, is considered. A universal scheme for calculation of the $ell=0,1$ Landau Fermi-liquid parameters and relativistic entrainment matrix is formulated in the mean-field approximation. Use of this scheme allow us to obtain numerical tables with the equation of state, Landau quasiparticle effective masses, adiabatic indices, the $ell=0,1$ Landau Fermi-liquid parameters, and the relativistic entrainment matrix for the selected models of nucleon-hyperon matter. These data are available on-line and suitable for numerical implementation in computer codes modelling various dynamical processes in NSs, in particular, oscillations of superfluid NSs and their cooling.

It is well-known that r-mode oscillations of rotating neutron stars may be unstable with respect to the gravitational wave emission. It is highly unlikely to observe a neutron star with the parameters within the instability window, a domain where thi
s instability is not suppressed. But if one adopts the `minimal (nucleonic) composition of the stellar interior, a lot of observed stars appear to be within the r-mode instability window. One of the possible solutions to this problem is to account for hyperons in the neutron star core. The presence of hyperons allows for a set of powerful (lepton-free) non-equilibrium weak processes, which increase the bulk viscosity, and thus suppress the r-mode instability. Existing calculations of the instability windows for hyperon NSs generally use reaction rates calculated for the $Sigma^-Lambda$ hyperonic composition via the contact $W$ boson exchange interaction. In contrast, here we employ hyperonic equations of state where the $Lambda$ and $Xi^-$ are the first hyperons to appear (the $Sigma^-$s, if they are present, appear at much larger densities), and consider the meson exchange channel, which is more effective for the lepton-free weak processes. We calculate the bulk viscosity for the non-paired $npemuLambdaXi^-$ matter using the meson exchange weak interaction. A number of viscosity-generating non-equilibrium processes is considered (some of them for the first time in the neutron-star context). The calculated reaction rates and bulk viscosity are approximated by simple analytic formulas, easy-to-use in applications. Applying our results to calculation of the instability window, we argue that accounting for hyperons may be a viable solution to the r-mode problem.
We calculate the relativistic entrainment matrix Y_ik at zero temperature for nucleon-hyperon mixture composed of neutrons, protons, Lambda and Sigma^- hyperons, as well as of electrons and muons. This matrix is analogous to the entrainment matrix (a
lso termed mass-density matrix or Andreev-Bashkin matrix) of non-relativistic theory. It is an important ingredient for modelling the pulsations of massive neutron stars with superfluid nucleon-hyperon cores. The calculation is done in the frame of the relativistic Landau Fermi-liquid theory generalized to the case of superfluid mixtures; the matrix Y_ik is expressed through the Landau parameters of nucleon-hyperon matter. The results are illustrated with a particular example of the sigma-omega-rho mean-field model with scalar self-interactions. Using this model we calculate the matrix Y_ik and the Landau parameters. We also analyze stability of the ground state of nucleon-hyperon matter with respect to small perturbations.
We study the feasibility of detecting exotic cores in merging neutron stars with ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. We focus on models with a sharp nuclear/exotic matter interface, and assume a uniform distribution of neutron stars in the mas
s range $[1,2] M_odot$. We find that the existence of exotic cores can be confirmed at the 70% confidence level with as few as several tens of detections. Likewise, with such a sample, we find that some models of exotic cores can be excluded {with high confidence}.
The supernova remnant Cassiopeia A contains the youngest known neutron star which is also the first one for which real time cooling has ever been observed. In order to explain the rapid cooling of this neutron star, we first present the fundamental p
roperties of neutron stars that control their thermal evolution with emphasis on the neutrino emission processes and neutron/proton superfluidity/superconductivity. Equipped with these results, we present a scenario in which the observed cooling of the neutron star in Cassiopeia A is interpreted as being due to the recent onset of neutron superfluidity in the core of the star. The manner in which the earlier occurrence of proton superconductivity determines the observed rapidity of this neutron stars cooling is highlighted. This is the first direct evidence that superfluidity and superconductivity occur at supranuclear densities within neutron stars.
We investigate the tidal deformability of a superfluid neutron star. We calculate the equilibrium structure in the general relativistic two-fluid formalism with entrainment effect where we take neutron superfluid as one fluid and the other fluid is c
omprised of protons and electrons, making it a charge neutral fluid. We use a relativistic mean field model for the equation of state of matter where the interaction between baryons is mediated by the exchange $sigma$, $omega$ and $rho$ mesons. Then, we study the linear, static $l=2$ perturbation on the star to compute the electric-type Love number following Hinderers prescription.
