A new method is presented here for evaluating approximately the pulsation modes of relativistic stellar models. This approximation relies on the fact that gravitational radiation influences these modes only on timescales that are much…
In polar oscillations of compact stars dynamical changes in spacetime and matter are in general coupled together. Based on the theory of stellar pulsation proposed by Allen et al. [Phys. Rev. D 58, 124012 (1998)], we establish a feasible…

We present the results of a numerical study of the fluid $f$, $p$ and the gravitational $w$ modes for increasingly relativistic nonrotating polytropes. The results for $f$ and $w$-modes are in good agreement with previous data for uniform…
Peculiar A stars are so named because they exhibit abundance peculiarities in their atmospheres. It is believed that these arise as a result of differentiation of chemical species in large magnetic spots in which convective mixing is…
