The only r-modes that exist in a globally barotropic, rotating, Newtonian star are the fundamental $l = |m|$ solutions, where $l$ and $m$ are the indices of the spherical harmonic $Y_l^m$ that describe the mode's angular dependence. This is…
We investigate the properties of r-mode and inertial mode of slowly rotating, non-isentropic, Newtonian stars, by taking account of the effects of the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force. For the non-isentropic models we consider only…
Quasi-toroidal oscillations in slowly rotating stars are examined in the framework of general relativity. The oscillation frequency to first order of the rotation rate is not a single value even for uniform rotation unlike the Newtonian…
