چکیده

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 that obtained by using either the Newtonian potential (i.e. the case in which only the tidal interaction is included.) or the second postNewtonian equation of motion of point mass (i.e. the case in which the effect of general relativity is taken into account but the tidal force is neglected.). In equal mass cases, it is found that for ā/m1 >∼ 3.5 with ā and m1 being the mean radius and the mass of the neutron star, the tidal effect dominates the stability of the binary system while for ā/m1 <∼ 3.5, the relativistic effect, i.e. the fact that the interaction potential has unstable orbit, does. The effect of the circulation is also studied by comparing the Roche ellipsoids (REs) with ∗e-mail: [email protected] the irrotational Roche-Riemann ellipsoids (IRREs). In the IRREs case, which are believed to be the case of coalescing binary neutron stars, it is found that in the equal mass binary case, the orbital frequency is 495Hz at the ISCO.

The 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 ...

A Semi-relativistic Model for Tidal Interactions in BH-NS Coalescing Binaries

We study the tidal effects of a Kerr black hole on a neutron star in black hole-neutron star binary systems using a semi-analytical approach which describes the neutron star as a deformable ellipsoid. Relativistic effects on the neutron star selfgravity are taken into account by employing a scalar potential resulting from relativistic stellar structure equations. We calculate quasi-equilibrium ...

Black Hole-Neutron Star Binary Merger Calculations: GRB Progenitors and the Stability of Mass Transfer

We have calculated the first dynamical evolutions of merging black hole-neutron star binaries that treat the combined spacetime in a nonperturbative general relativistic framework. Using the conformal flatness approximation, we have studied how the location of the tidal disruption radius with respect to the the black hole horizon and innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) affects the qualitativ...

Comment on “ Instabilities in Close Neutron Star Binaries ”

In a recent Physical Review Letter, Wilson and Mathews [1] presented some interesting numerical calculations of a system of two equally massive neutron stars in strong-field gravity. In particular they estimated the innermost stable circular orbit in their system. Here we point out a possibly important consequence of their results: Their calculated configurations have total angular momentum J a...
