Critical phenomena in head-on collisions of neutron stars.
We find type I critical collapses of compact objects modeled by a polytropic equation of state (EOS) with a polytropic index Gamma=2 without the ultrarelativistic assumption. The object is formed in head-on collisions of neutron stars. Further, we show that the critical collapse can occur due to a change of the EOS, without fine-tuning of initial data. This opens the possibility that a neutron-...
متن کاملCritical phenomena in neutron stars: I
We consider the evolution in full general relativity of a family of linearly unstable isolated spherical neutron stars under the effects of very small perturbations as induced by the truncation error. Using a simple idealfluid equation of state, we find that this system exhibits a type I critical behaviour, thus confirming the conclusions reached by Liebling et al (2010 arXiv:1001.0575v1) for r...
متن کاملCritical phenomena in neutron stars: II
We consider the head-on collision of equal-mass neutron stars boosted towards each other and we study the behaviour of such systems near the threshold of black-hole formation. In particular, we confirm the previous findings by Jin K J et al (2007 Phys. Rev. Lett 98 131101) that a type I critical phenomenon can be observed by fine-tuning the initial mass of the two neutron stars. At the same tim...
متن کاملMillisecond Phenomena in Accreting Neutron Stars – an Update
Since the initial discoveries with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 1996 of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) and burst oscillations in a number of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) containing low-magnetic-field neutron stars, a very active field has developed. I briefly summarize some of the developments since those early days, which include the discovery of the first acc...
متن کاملCritical Phenomena Associated with Boson Stars
Here we present a synopsis of related work [1, 2] describing a study of black hole threshold phenomena for a self-gravitating massive complex scalar field in spherical symmetry. Studies of models of gravitational collapse have revealed structure which can arise near the threshold of black hole formation. The solutions in this regime are known as " critical solutions," and their properties as " ...
