Rapid uniform rotation of newborn neutron stars (protoneutron stars) is studied for a range of internal temperatures and entropies per baryon predicted by the existing numerical simulations. Calculations are performed using general…
Neutron stars are not observed to spin faster than about half their breakup rate. This limiting rotational frequency may be related to the strength of their crusts. As a star spins up from accretion, centrifugal forces stress the crust. We…
We develop a fully relativistic framework to study the rotational response of gravitationally coupled two-fluid neutron stars within the slow-rotation approximation. Treating the two components as independently conserved perfect fluids…
We consider an instability of rapidly rotating neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) with respect to excitation of r-modes (which are analogous to Earth's Rossby waves controlled by the Coriolis force). We argue that finite…
The Rossby mode (r-mode) perturbations in pulsars as a steady gravitational wave (GW) sources have been explored. The time evolution and the intensity of the emitted GWs in terms of the strain tensor amplitude have been estimated with the…
We present a general formalism to treat slowly rotating general relativistic superfluid neutron stars. As a first approximation, their matter content can be described in terms of a two-fluid model, where one fluid is the neutron superfluid,…
Differential rotation of r-modes is investigated within the nonlinear theory up to second order in the mode amplitude in the case of a slowly-rotating, Newtonian, barotropic, perfect-fluid star. We find a nonlinear extension of the linear…
We study the stability of neutron stars with toroidal magnetic fields by magnetohydrodynamic simulation in full general relativity under assumption of axial symmetry. Nonrotating and rigidly rotating neutron stars are prepared for a variety…
It is usually believed that the Cowling approximation can give satisfactory solutions if the stars %are highly compressible have soft equations of state and/or if the strongly general relativistic stars are treated in the case of rigid…
It is well-known that r-mode oscillations of rotating neutron stars may be unstable with respect to the gravitational wave emission. It is highly unlikely to observe a neutron star with the parameters within the instability window, a domain…

Using time evolutions of the relevant linearised equations we study non-axisymmetric oscillations of rapidly rotating and superfluid neutron stars. We consider perturbations of Newtonian axisymmetric background configurations and account…
We investigate the damping of neutron star r-modes due to the presence of a viscous boundary (Ekman) layer at the interface between the crust and the core. Our study is motivated by the possibility that the gravitational-wave driven…
This paper consists of two related parts: In the first part we derive an expression of the moment of inertia (MOI) of a neutron star as a function of observables from a hypothetical r-mode gravitational wave detection. For a given r-mode…
Perturbations of rotating relativistic stars can be classified by their behavior under parity. For axial perturbations (r-modes), initial data with negative canonical energy is found with angular dependence $e^{im\phi}$ for all values of…
Recently, eigenmodes of rotating fluids, namely inertial modes, have received much attention in relation to their destabilization when coupled to gravitational radiation within neutron stars. However, these modes have been known for a long…
The non-linear behaviour of oscillation modes in compact stars is a topic of considerable current interest. Accurate numerical studies of such phenomena are likely to require powerful new approaches to both fluid and spacetime computations.…
We investigate equilibrium configurations of uniformly rotating neutron stars in $R^2$ gravity with axion scalar field for GM1 equation of state (EoS) for nuclear matter. The mass-radius diagram, mass-central energy density are presented…
I study the effect of nuclear equation of state on the r-mode instability of a rotating neutron star. I consider the case where the crust of the neutron star is perfectly rigid and I employ the related theory introduced by Lindblom {\it et…
Rigid (Uniform) rotation is usually assumed when investigating the properties of mature neutron stars (NSs). Although it simplifies their description, it is an assumption because we cannot observe the NS's innermost parts. Here, we analyze…
