Contribution
It introduces a detailed calculation of electron shear viscosity including Landau damping, revealing its suppression in ultrarelativistic regimes.
Findings
Landau damping significantly suppresses shear viscosity in ultrarelativistic electrons.
The modified viscosity affects the understanding of stellar core dynamics.
Results are relevant for modeling white dwarf and neutron star interiors.
Abstract
We calculate the partial electron shear viscosity limited by electron-electron collisions in a strongly degenerate electron gas taking into account the Landau damping of transverse plasmons. The Landau damping strongly suppresses in the domain of ultrarelativistic degenerate electrons and modifies its %asymptotic temperature behavior. The efficiency of the electron shear viscosity in the cores of white dwarfs and envelopes of neutron stars is analyzed.
