will speak on

Modelling "real" neutron stars; dissipative multi-fluid systems in general relativity

Time: 2:15PM
Date: Thu 29th May 2008
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Further information

Abstract: In this talk I will describe the challenges associated with modelling realistic neutron stars in general relativity. The development of such models is motivated by the needs of gravitational-wave "astronomy". I will describe why we have to consider multi-fluid systems, what this means for the models and how our understanding of this problem has developed in the last few years.
