摘要:

双中子星并合残骸预计为质量大、快速旋转的恒星,其震荡产生kHz频段引力波。差异旋转程度和旋转剖面强烈影响其结构、稳定性及震荡谱,因此在建模动态时必须考虑。我们扩展了ROXAS代码以允许震荡和差异旋转中子星的动态演化。利用更新的代码,我们旨在研究恒星的震荡频率。我们扩展了基于原始变量和共形平坦性近似的先前形式化,以适应差异旋转。在此框架下,我们运行了一系列轴对称和非轴对称扰动、差异旋转中子星的模拟,不同旋转速率下提取其震荡频率。轴对称模式以及在Cowling近似下的模式与已发表结果有良好一致。我们显示Cowling近似中的二次基模是一种伪影,在动态时空不出现。此外,我们首次提供了在共形平坦性下差异旋转配置中非轴对称模式的频率值。此扩展扩展了ROXAS可研究的物理场景范围,代表了更真实建模并合残骸及其引力波发射的一步。

英文摘要:

The remnants of binary neutron star mergers are expected to be massive, rapidly rotating stars whose oscillations produce gravitational waves in the kilohertz band. The degree of differential rotation and the rotation profiles strongly influence their structure, stability and oscillation spectrum, and must therefore be taken into account when modeling their dynamics. We extend the pseudospectral code ROXAS (Relativistic Oscillations of non-aXisymmetric neutron stArS) to enable the dynamical evolution of oscillating, differentially rotating neutron stars. Using the updated code, we aim to study the star's oscillation frequencies. We extend the previous formalism, based on primitive variables and the conformal flatness approximation, to differential rotation. Within this framework, we run a series of axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric simulations of perturbed, differentially rotating neutron stars with different rotation rates, and extract their oscillation frequencies. Axisymmetric modes, as well as those under the Cowling approximation, show excellent agreement with published results. We show that the secondary fundamental mode in the Cowling approximation is an artifact that does not appear in dynamical spacetimes. In addition, we provide, for the first time, frequency values for non-axisymmetric modes in differentially rotating configurations evolved in conformal flatness. This extension broadens the range of physical scenarios that can be studied with ROXAS, and represents a step toward more realistic modeling of post-merger remnants and their gravitational-wave emission.
