Rotating Neutron Stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Because of the tremendous densities that exist in the cores of neutron stars, a significant fraction of the matter in the cores of such stars is likely to exist in the form of hyperons. Depending on spin frequency, the hyperon content changes dramatically in rotating neutron stars, as discussed in this paper.

Properties of non-rotating and rapidly rotating protoneutron stars
Properties of non-rotating and rapidly rotating protoneutron stars and neutron stars are investigated. Protoneutron stars are hot, lepton rich neutron stars which are formed in TypeII supernovae. The hot dense matter is described by a realistic equation of state which is obtained by extending a recent approach of Myers and Świa̧tecki to the nuclear mass formula. We investigate the properties of ...
متن کاملNew instability windows for rotating neutron stars
We reanalyze the r-mode instability in rotating superfluid neutron stars. To this aim we develop a model of resonance interaction of normal m = 2 r-mode with superfluid modes. We show that this interaction dramatically modifies the instability window, that is the region of stellar spin frequencies and temperatures in which a neutron star becomes unstable with respect to radiation of gravitation...
متن کاملConstraining properties of rapidly rotating neutron stars using data from heavy-ion collisions
Properties, structure, and thermal evolution of neutron stars are determined by the equation of state of stellar matter. Recent data on isospin-diffusion and isoscaling in heavy-ion collisions at intermediate energies as well as the size of neutron skin in Pb have constrained considerably the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy and, in turn, the equation of state of neutron-rich n...
متن کاملThe R-mode Instability in Rotating Neutron Stars
In this review we summarize the current understanding of the gravitational-wave driven instability associated with the so-called r-modes in rotating neutron stars. We discuss the nature of the r-modes, the detailed mechanics of the instability and its potential astrophysical significance. In particular we discuss results regarding the spin-evolution of nascent neutron stars, the detectability o...
متن کاملRapid uniform rotation of protoneutron stars
Rapid uniform rotation of newborn neutron stars (protoneutron stars) is studied for a range of internal temperatures and entropies per baryon predicted by the existing numerical simulations. Calculations are performed using general relativistic equations of hydrostatic equilibrium of rotating, axially symmetric stars. Stability of rotating configurations with respect to mass shedding and the ax...
