Dynamical determination of the innermost stable circular orbit of binary neutron stars.
We determine the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of binary neutron stars (BNSs) by performing dynamical simulations in full general relativity. Evolving quasiequilibrium (QE) binaries that begin at different separations, we bracket the location of the ISCO by distinguishing stable circular orbits from unstable plunges. We study Gamma=2 polytropes of varying compactions in both corotation...
متن کاملLocation of the innermost stable circular orbit of binary neutron stars in the post Newtonian approximations of general relativity
In this paper, we present results obtained from our recent studies on the location of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for binary neutron stars (BNSs) in several levels of post Newtonian (PN) approximations. We reach the following conclusion at present: (1) even in the Newtonian case, there exists the ISCO for binary of sufficiently stiff equation of state (EOS). If the mass and the r...
متن کاملInnermost Stable Circular Orbit of Coalescing Neutron Star - Black Hole Binary — Generalized Pseudo - Newtonian Potential Approach —
The innermost stable circular orbits (ISCO) of coalescing neutron starblack hole binary are studied taking into account both the tidal and relativistic effects. We adopt the generalized pseudo-Newtonian potential to mimic the general relativistic effects of gravitation. It is found that the separation of the neutron star and the black hole at the innermost stable circular orbit is greater than ...
متن کاملThe Innermost Stable Circular Orbit in Compact Binaries
Newtonian point mass binaries can be brought into arbitrarily close circular orbits. Neutron stars and black holes, however, are extended, relativistic objects. Both finite size and relativistic effects make very close orbits unstable, so that there exists an innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO). We illustrate the physics of the ISCO in a simple model problem, and review different techniques ...
متن کاملLast Orbits of Binary Black Holes * the Isco (for Innermost Stable Circular Orbit). 2. Numerical Solution
Received (Day Month Year) Binary black hole systems in the pre-coalescence stage are numerically constructed by demanding that the associated spacetime admits a helical Killing vector. Comparison with third order post-Newtonian calculations indicates a rather good agreement until the innermost stable circular orbit. 1. Quasi-equilibrium configurations of binary black holes 1.1. Helical Killing ...
