Gravitational radiation from the r-mode instability
The instability in the r-modes of rotating neutron stars can (in principle) emit substantial amounts of gravitational radiation (GR) which might be detectable by LIGO and similar detectors. Estimates are given here of the detectability of this GR based the non-linear simulations of the r-mode instability by Lindblom, Tohline and Vallisneri. The burst of GR produced by the instability in the rap...
متن کاملGravitational radiation from nonaxisymmetric instability in a rotating star.
We present the first calculations of the gravitational radiation produced by nonaxisymmetric dynamical instability in a rapidly rotating compact star. The star deforms into a bar shape, shedding ∼ 4% of its mass and ∼ 17% of its angular momentum. The gravitational radiation is calculated in the quadrupole approximation. For a mass M ∼ 1.4 M⊙ and radius R ∼ 10 km, the gravitational waves have fr...
متن کاملSaturation of the R-mode Instability
Rossby waves (r-modes) in rapidly rotating neutron stars are unstable because of the emission of gravitational radiation. As a result, the stellar rotational energy is converted into both gravitational waves and r-mode energy. The saturation level for the r-mode energy is a fundamental parameter needed to determine how fast the neutron star spins down, as well as whether gravitational waves wil...
متن کاملGravitational Instability in Radiation Pressure Dominated Backgrounds
I consider the physics of gravitational instabilities in the presence of dynamically important radiation pressure and gray radiative diffusion, governed by a constant opacity κ. For any non-zero radiation diffusion rate on an optically-thick scale k−1, the medium is unstable unless the classical gas-only isothermal Jeans criterion is satisfied. If the radiation acoustic sound crossing timescale...
متن کاملSingle-mode coherent synchrotron radiation instability
The microwave instability driven by the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) has been previously studied [G. Stupakov, S. Heifets, Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 5, 054402 (2002)] neglecting effect of the shielding caused by the finite beam pipe aperture. The growth rate of the instability is large and, at low bunch density, is dominated by the long wavelength modes. Such modes may be close to the ...
