Equations of state are constructed within the framework of a relativistic field theoretical model where baryon-baryon interaction is mediated by the exchange of scalar and vector mesons. Hyperon-hyperon interaction is also taken into account by the exchange of two strange mesons. This interaction results in a smaller maximum mass neutron star compared with the case without the interaction. The coefficient of bulk viscosity due to the non-leptonic weak process is determined by these equations of state. The interacting hyperon matter reduces the bulk viscosity coefficient in a neutron star interior compared with the no interaction case. The r-mode instability is more effectively suppressed in hyperon-hyperon interaction case than that without the interaction.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-06-12T16:29:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "97.60.Jd", "04.30.Db", "26.60.+c", "04.40.Dg" ], "keywords": [ "bulk viscosity", "hyperon-hyperon interaction", "r-mode instability", "smaller maximum mass neutron star" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
