Stellar pulsations and gravitational waves

Kostas Kokkotas (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Pulsating stars are important sources of information for astrophysics. Nearly every star undergoes some kind of pulsation from the early stages of its formation until the very late ones i.e. the catastrophic creation of a supercompact object (white dwarf, neutron star or black hole). Pulsations of supercompact objects are of great importance for relativistic astrophysics since these pulsations are accompanied by the emission of gravitational radiation. In this review we shall discuss...

Gravitational radiation from accreting neutron stars

Bernard Schutz (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Neutron stars may emit steady gravitational wave signals that will be among the first kinds of gravitational wave signals that the new generation of interferometric detectors will search for. I consider here the possibility that accreting neutron stars may be driven into the steady emission of gravitational waves. I estimate the amplitudes that the waves may have if the accretion takes place at the Eddington limit, such as may happen when a neutron star spirals inside a giant star in...

Post-Newtonian approximation in the test particle limit

Misao Sasaki (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Gravitational radiation from a small mass particle orbiting a massive black hole can be analytically studied to a very high order in the post-Newtonian expansion. Thus it gives us useful information on the evolution of a coalescing compact binary star. In this talk, I report on recent progress made in the black-hole perturbation approach.
