ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS Moments of inertia of relativistic magnetized stars
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider principal moments of inertia of axisymmetric, magnetically deformed stars in the context of general relativity. The general expression for the moment of inertia with respect to the symmetric axis is obtained. The numerical estimates are derived for several polytropic stellar models. We find that the values of the principal moments of inertia are modified by a factor of 2 at most from Newtonian estimates.

Strongly magnetized strange baryonic matter in neutron star
We investigate the strongly magnetized strange baryonic matter in a relativistic mean- eld theory. We rst take into account the hidden strange mesons and the eld-dependent meson-baryon coupling constants. In low-density region the strongly magnetized neutron star (NS) matter is nearly iso-symmetric. The equation of state (EOS) therefore becomes softer than that of the normal NS matter. Becaus...
متن کاملPulsating Relativistic Stars
Pulsating stars have given important information in classical astronomy and are still an active research field, e.g. asteroseismology or helioseismology. By studying the rich oscillation stellar spectra, optical astronomy makes predictions for the stellar equations of state (EOS), the evolutionary age of the stars, and in the case of Cepheids one can make exact predictions for the distance of t...
متن کاملThe Chandra Deep Field-North Survey: XVII. Evolution of magnetic activity in old late-type stars
The extremely sensitive Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N) pencil-beam X-ray survey is used to identify and characterize the X-ray emission from old high-latitude main sequence Galactic stars. Our principal goal is to investigate the expected long-term decay of magnetic activity of late-type stars due to the gradual spindown of stellar rotation from a magnetized stellar wind. Thirteen X-ray sourc...
متن کاملCollapse, outflows and fragmentation of massive, turbulent and magnetized prestellar barotropic cores
Context. Stars, and more particularly massive stars, have a drastic impact on galaxy evolution. Yet the conditions in which they form and collapse are still not fully understood. Aims: In particular, the influence of the magnetic field on the collapse of massive clumps is relatively unexplored, it is therefore of great relevance in the context of the formation of massive stars to investigate it...
