We study spherically symmetric solutions to the Einstein-Euler equations which model an idealized relativistic neutron star surrounded by vacuum. These are barotropic fluids with a free boundary, governed by an equation of state which sets…
In this work we consider the thermal evolution of rigidly rotating neutron stars. In order to perform such study we first calculate the structure of rotating objects, which is considerably more complicated than that of spherical objects.…
We derive the equation for pressure within a neutron star, taking into account a non-zero cosmological constant ($\Lambda$). We then examine the stability of the neutron star's equilibrium state in the presence of cosmological constant. Our…
We study non-axisymmetric oscillations of rapidly and differentially rotating relativistic stars in the Cowling approximation. Our equilibrium models are sequences of relativistic polytropes, where the differential rotation is described by…
The back-bending phenomenon for compact stars is studied by means of analytical equations of state, for both constant-pressure phase transitions and the transitions through the mixed-phase region. We restrict ourselves to the case of normal…
$f(R)$ theories of gravity are one of the most popular alternative explanations for dark energy and therefore studying the possible astrophysical implications of these theories is an important task. In the present paper we make a…
Background: Constraining the nuclear matter equation of state (EoS) from neutron star observations is one of the main subjects in nuclear physics today. In general, neutron stars rotate rapidly and structure of neutron stars can be…
The discovery of a 2 Msun neutron star provided a robust constraint for the theory of exotic dense matter, bringing into question the existence of strange baryons in the interiors of neutron stars. Although many theories fail to reproduce…
In general neutron stars in binaries are spinning. Recently, a new quasi-equilibrium approximation that includes a rotational velocity piece for each star has been proposed to describe binary neutron stars with arbitrary rotation states in…
The Hartle-Thorne metric is an exact solution of vacuum Einstein field equations that describes the exterior of any slowly and rigidly rotating, stationary and axially symmetric body. The metric is given with accuracy up to the second order…
We demonstrate how observables of slowly rotating neutron stars can be used to constrain the nuclear equation of state. By building a Bayesian framework we demonstrate how combining different types of neutron star measurements, motivated by…
This thesis explores compact objects, particularly neutron stars, focusing on their properties, classification, and stability within the framework of general relativity. Two distinct studies are presented. The first study examines the…
We construct relativistic equilibrium models of differentially rotating neutron stars and show that they can support significantly more mass than their nonrotating or uniformly rotating counterparts. We dynamically evolve such…
In the present work, we obtain the hydrostatic equilibrium configurations of neutron stars in the recently proposed $f(R,\mathcal{L},T)$ theory of gravity, for which $R$ is the Ricci scalar, $\mathcal{L}$ is the matter lagrangian density,…
With (non-barotropic) equations of state valid even when the neutron, proton and electron content of neutron star cores is not in beta equilibrium, we study inertial and composition gravity modes of relativistic rotating neutron stars. We…
The modern nucleon-nucleon interaction of Myers and Swiatecki, adjusted to the properties of finite nuclei, the parameters of the mass formula, and the behavior of the optical potential is used to calculate the properties of…
We investigated universal relations for compact stars rotating at the Keplerian (mass-shedding) limit, which is highly relevant for understanding the rapidly rotating objects formed in the aftermath of a neutron star-neutron star merger.…
We present the field equations governing the equilibrium of rapidly rotating neutron stars in scalar-tensor theories of gravity, as well as representative numerical solutions. The conditions for the presence of a nontrivial scalar field and…
We present a systematic study of the properties of pure hadronic and hybrid compact stars. The nuclear equation of state (EoS) for beta-equilibrated neutron star matter was obtained using density dependent effective nucleon-nucleon…
Equilibrium models of differentially rotating nascent neutron stars are constructed, which represent the result of the accretion induced collapse of rapidly rotating white dwarfs. The models are built in a two-step procedure: (1) a rapidly…
