GRR-Driven Secular Instability

The GRR-driven secular instability may set in at the neutral points along sequences of rotating fizzlers. They will only be relevant, however, if the driving time for GRR to shed J from the fizzler is shorter than the viscous damping time. Below we show the gravitational driving times. Only for nuclear density will the GRR driving time be short enough to be of interest. However, at nuclear density, fizzlers have kT >5-10 MeV and viscous damping is efficient. GRR driven secular instability is not likely to grow for any fizzler density.
