Jeans instability in superfluids

Itamar Hason, Yaron Oz

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We analyze the effect of a gravitational field on the sound modes of superfluids. We derive an instability condition that generalizes the well-known Jeans instability of the sound mode in normal fluids. We discuss potential experimental implications.
