Quasi‐normal Modes of Rotating Relativistic Stars: Neutral Modes for Realistic Equations of State

Quasi‐normal Modes of Rotating Relativistic Stars: Neutral Modes for Realistic Equations of State

We compute zero-frequency (neutral) quasi-normal f-modes of fully relativistic and rapidly rotating neutron stars using several realistic equations of state (EOSs) for neutron star matter. The zero-frequency modes signal the onset of the gravitational radiation-driven instability. We find that the l=m=2 (bar) f-mode is unstable for stars with gravitational mass …
