We determine the general form of the complete set of transport coefficients in the presence of a strong magnetic field. By using a local linear response method, we calculate explicitly the bulk viscosities $\\zperp$ and $\\zpara$ transverse and parallel to the $B$-field respectively, which arise due to the non-leptonic weak processes $u+s\\leftrightarrow u+d$. We find that for magnetic fields $B<10^{17}$ G, the dependence of $\\zperp$ and $\\zpara$ on the field is weak, and they can be approximated by the bulk viscosity for zero magnetic field. For fields $B>10^{18}$ G, the dependence of both $\\zperp$ and $\\zpara$ on the field is strong, and they exhibit de Haas-van Alphen-type oscillations. With increasing magnetic field, the amplitude of these oscillations increases, which eventually leads to negative $\\zperp$ in some regions of parameter space. We show that the change of sign of $\\zperp$ signals a hydrodynamic instability. As an application, we discuss the effects of the new bulk viscosities on the r-mode instability in rotating strange quark stars. We find that the instability region in strange quark stars is affected when the magnetic fields exceeds the value $B= 10^{17}$ G. For fields which are larger by an order of magnitude, the instability region is significantly enlarged, making magnetized strange stars more susceptible to $r$-mode instability than their unmagnetized counterparts.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-02-26T09:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.65.Qr", "12.38.-t", "11.10.Wx", "12.38.Mh" ], "keywords": [ "strong magnetic field", "strange quark stars", "bulk viscosity", "anisotropic hydrodynamics", "local linear response method" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2010, "month": "Feb", "volume": 81, "number": 4, "pages": "045015" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 834443, "adsabs": "2010PhRvD..81d5015H" } } }
