Compact stars are likely to contain superfluid matter, either in the form of nuclear or quark matter, or both. The hydrodynamics of superfluids is usually described in terms of a two-fluid model. I will discuss how such a two-fluid model can be derived from field theory and apply the results to compute the properties of first and second sound for arbitrary temperatures and (uniform) superfluid...

The equation of state of neutron matter is a basic ingredient in the theoretical understanding of neutron stars. From a nuclear theory perspective, the problem has two major sources of uncertainty: the nuclear hamiltonian and the treatment of quantum many-body correlations. I will review a series of recent theoretical advances within the many-body Green's functions approach that help tackle...

We present numerical results on the dynamical bar-mode (m=2)
instability in differentially rotating relativistic star models with a
polytropic EoS, obtained by means of full 3D ideal
magneto-hydrodynamics simulations in full General Relativity. We
focus our attention on two different ingredients that may affect the
onset and the dynamics of the instability, i.e., the magnetization...
