SUMMARY:Neutron Star Weather Forecasting \, Network in Neutrinos\, Nuc
lear Astrophysics\, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar\, Joonas Nättilä
\, Columbia University\, Flatiron Institute
DESCRIPTION:Neutron stars are extremely compact stellar remnants with
a mass of ~1.5 Msun and a radius of ~12km. They have an upper layer co
nsisting of a plasma atmosphere and a Coulomb-liquid ocean. Like any s
tratified fluid envelope on a rotating spherical body\, the layers wil
l develop complex lateral motions---weather & climate. I will use well
-known results from geophysical fluid dynamics to predict what kind of
"weather" we can expect on neutron stars. Understanding the spatiotem
poral variability of atmospheres and oceans on neutron stars is import
ant for interpreting observations of their X-ray emissions.
