Perturbative Analysis of Universality and Individuality in Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars
نویسندگان
چکیده
The universality observed in gravitational wave spectra of non-rotating neutron stars is analyzed here. We show that the universality in the axial oscillation mode can be reproduced with a simple stellar model, namely the centrifugal barrier approximation (CBA), which captures the essence of the Tolman VII model of compact stars. Through the establishment of scaled co-ordinate logarithmic perturbation theory (SCLPT), we are able to explain and quantitatively predict such universal behavior. In addition, quasi-normal modes of individual neutron stars characterized by different equations of state can be obtained from those of CBA with SCLPT. Subject headings: gravitational waves — stars: neutron — stars: oscillations (including pulsations) — equation of state — relativity

Universality in Quasi-normal Modes of Neutron Stars
We study the universality in gravitational waves emitted from non-rotating neutron stars characterized by different equations of state (EOS). We find that the quasinormal mode frequencies of such waves, including the w-modes and the f -mode, display similar universal scaling behaviours that hold for most EOS. Such behaviours are shown to stem from the mathematical structure of the axial and the...
متن کاملDifferent Magnetic Field Distributions in Deformed Neutron Stars
In this work, we review the formalism which would allow us to model magnetically deformed neutron stars. We study the effect of different magnetic field configurations on the equation of state (EoS) and the structure of such stars. For this aim, the EoS of magnetars is acquired by using the lowest order constraint variational (LOCV) method and employing the AV18 potential....
متن کاملGravitational waves from axisymmetrically oscillating neutron stars in general relativistic simulations
Gravitational waves from oscillating neutron stars in axial symmetry are studied performing numerical simulations in full general relativity. Neutron stars are modeled by a polytropic equation of state for simplicity. A gaugeinvariant wave extraction method as well as a quadrupole formula are adopted for computation of gravitational waves. It is found that the gauge-invariant variables systemat...
متن کاملGravitational waves from neutron stars: recent developments
The gravitational waves that bathe the Earth presumably do not vary wildly in strength from year to year. However, our very imperfect understanding of their strengths occasionally does change abruptly, prompted either by new astrophysical observations or by new theoretical predictions and discoveries. Such has been the case in the last year for our expectations for periodic gravitational waves ...
متن کاملGravitational Waves from Neutron Stars: A Review
Neutron stars are excellent emitters of gravitational waves. Squeezing matter beyond nuclear densities invites exotic physical processes, many of which violently transfer large amounts of mass at relativistic velocities, disrupting spacetime and generating copious quantities of gravitational radiation. I review mechanisms for generating gravitational waves with neutron stars. This includes grav...
