  • model independent inference of neutron star radii from Moment of Inertia measurements
    Physical Review C, 2016
    Co-Authors: Carolyn A Raithel, Feryal Ozel, Dimitrios Psaltis
    Abstract:

    A precise Moment of Inertia measurement for PSR J0737-3039A in the double pulsar system is expected within the next five years. We present here a new method of mapping the anticipated measurement of the Moment of Inertia directly into the neutron star structure. We determine the maximum and minimum values possible for the Moment of Inertia of a neutron star of a given radius based on physical stability arguments, assuming knowledge of the equation of state only at densities below the nuclear saturation density. If the equation of state is trusted up to the nuclear saturation density, we find that a measurement of the Moment of Inertia will place absolute bounds on the radius of PSR J0737-3039A to within $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ km. The resulting combination of Moment of Inertia, mass, and radius measurements for a single source will allow for new, stringent constraints on the dense-matter equation of state.

  • Moment of Inertia of a trapped superfluid gas of Fermions
    arXiv: Superconductivity, 2000
    Co-Authors: M. Farine, Peter Schuck, X. Viñas
    Abstract:

    The Moment of Inertia Q of a trapped superfluid gas of atomic Fermions (6Li) is calculated as a function of the temperature. At zero temperature the Moment of Inertia takes on the irrotational flow value. Only for T very close to Tc rigid rotation is attained. It is proposed that future measurements of the rotational energy will unambiguously reveal whether the system is in a superfluid state or not.
