Gravitational Waves from Accreting Neutron Stars
where Rs := 2GM/c 2 is the Schwarzschild radius associated with the mass M and s is some asymmetry factor: s = 0 for a spherically symmetric object and s ∼ 1 for an object whose shape is far from that of a sphere. According to formula (1), the astrophysical objects for which s ∼ 1, R ∼ Rs and V ∼ c may radiate a fantastic power in the form of gravitational waves: L ∼ c/G = 3.6 × 10 W, which amo...
متن کاملDetecting gravitational waves from accreting neutron stars
The gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars carry unique information about their structure and composition. Direct detection of these gravitational waves, however, is a formidable technical challenge. In a recent study we quantified the hurdles facing searches for gravitational waves from the known accreting neutron stars, given the level of uncertainty that exists regarding spin and orbit...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Newborn Magnetars in the Virgo Cluster
There is growing evidence that two classes of high-energy sources, the Soft Gamma Repeaters and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars contain slowly spinning “magnetars”, i.e. neutron stars whose emission is powered by the release of energy from their extremely strong magnetic fields (> 1015 G). We show here that the enormous energy liberated in the 2004 December 27 giant flare from SGR 1806-20 (∼ 5×1046...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Compact Objects Accreting onto Active Galactic Nuclei
We consider a model in which massive stars form in a self-gravitating accretion disk around an active galactic nucleus. These stars may evolve and collapse to form compact objects on a time scale shorter than the accretion time, thus producing an important family of sources for LISA. Assuming the compact object formation/inspiral rate is proportional to the steady-state gas accretion rate, we u...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Phase Transitions of Accreting Neutron Stars
We propose that when neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries accrete sufficient mass and become millisecond pulsars, the interiors of these stars may undergo phase transitions, which excite stellar radial oscillations. We show that the radial oscillations will be mainly damped by gravitational-wave radiation instead of internal viscosity. The gravitational waves can be detected by the advanced...
