摘要:

吸积中子星可能是引力波源。在本研究中,我们采用Cowling近似法,研究此类物体在稳态下的引力波频率。我们能够推导出不依赖于质量吸积率的经验关系,这些关系描述了基本模和第一压力模的频率乘以恒星质量作为恒星紧凑性函数,以及第一和第二重力模频率的关系。因此,一旦同时观测到基本模(或第一压力模)和重力模频率,就可以约束中子星的质量和半径。此外,我们发现,如果直接Urca过程在恒星内部不工作,辐射度可以很好地由质量吸积率描述,而不依赖于恒星质量和方程。由于具有直接Urca过程的中子星辐射度可能偏离这种描述,通过观测辐射度可以确定恒星内部是否存在直接Urca过程。来自引力波和辐射度的信息有助于理解中子星物质的方程。

英文摘要:

An accreting neutron star is potentially the gravitational wave source. In this study, we examine the gravitational wave frequencies from such an object in the steady state, adopting the Cowling approximation. We can derive the empirical relations independently of the mass accretion rate for the frequencies of the fundamental and 1st pressure modes multiplied by the stellar mass as a function of the stellar compactness, together with those for the 1st and 2nd gravity mode frequencies. So, once one simultaneously observes the fundamental (or 1st pressure) and gravity mode frequencies, one could constrain the neutron star mass and radius. In addition, we find that the luminosity can be well characterized by the mass accretion rate independently of the stellar mass and equation of state, if the direct Urca does not work inside the star. Since the luminosity from the neutron star with the direct Urca can deviate from this characterization, one could identify whether the direct Urca process works or not inside the star by observing the luminosity. Both information obtained from the gravitational waves and luminosity help us to understand the equation of state for neutron star matter.
