Relation between gravitational mass and baryonic mass for non-rotating and rapidly rotating neutron stars
Abstract
With a selected sample of neutron star (NS) equation-of-states (EOSs) that are consistent with the current observations and have a range of maximum masses, we investigate the relations between NS gravitational mass and baryonic mass , and the relations between the maximum NS mass supported through uniform rotation () and that of nonrotating NSs (). We find that if one intends to apply an EOS-independent quadratic, universal transformation formula () to all EOSs, the best fit value is 0.080 for non-rotating NSs only and 0.073 when different spin periods are considered. The residual error of the transformation is as large as . For different EOSs, we find that the parameter for non-rotating NSs is proportional to (where is NS radius for 1.4 in unit of km). For a particular EOS, if one adopts the best-fit parameters for different spin periods, the residual error of the transformation is smaller, which is of the order of 0.01 for the quadratic form and less than 0.01 for the cubic form (). We also find a very tight and general correlation between the normalized mass gain due to spin and the spin period normalized to the Keplerian period , i.e. , which is independent of EOS models. Applications of our results to GW170817 is discussed.
