Description
I have written a new code for the early evolution of a newly born neutron
star (which is called proto-neutron star, PNS). At each step of the quasi-stationary PNS evolution, the code integrates the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations and then evolves the thermodynamical profiles solving the
energy integrated neutrino diffusion equations. My final aim is to study
the frequencies at which a PNS oscillates and emits gravitational waves. In
particular, these frequencies depend on the presence of convection, on the
high-density finite temperature equation of state of matter and the corresponding neutrino diffusion coefficients, and on the consequent PNS evolutionary path. This part of the work is still in progress.
