Probing the Equation of State of Nuclear Matter via Neutron Star Asteroseismology
Probing the Equation of State of Nuclear Matter via Neutron Star Asteroseismology
We general relativistically calculate the frequency of fundamental torsional oscillations of neutron star crusts, where we focus on the crystalline properties obtained from macroscopic nuclear models in a way depending on the equation of state of nuclear matter. We find that the calculated frequency is sensitive to the density dependence …
