  2. Outline • Research history and observations • EOS constrained by terrestrial data and non-Newtonian gravity in neutron star • Gravitational radiations from oscillations of neutron star

  3. I. Research History and Observations

  4. Theory prediction • A year following Chadwick’s 1932 discovery of neutron, Baade and Zwicky conceived the notion of neutron star in the course of their investigation of supernovae. • But no searches for neutron stars were mounted immediately following their work. No one knew what to look for, as the neutron star was believed to be cold and much smaller than white dwarfs. • In 1939 (about 30 years before the discovery of pulsars), Oppenheimer, Volkoff and Tolman first estimated its radius and maximum based on the general relativity.

  5. In 1967 at Cambridge University, Jocelyn Bell observed a strange radio pulse that had a regular period of 1.3373011 seconds, which is believed to be a neutron star formed from a supernova. First observation of NS

  9. Observations: (1) Period and its derivation Distribution of known galactic disk pulsars in the period–period-derivative plane. Pulsars detected only at x-ray and higher energies are indicated by open stars; pulsars in binary systems are indicated by a circle around the point. Assuming spin-down due to magnetic dipole radiation, we can derive a characteristic age for the pulsar t=p/(2dp/dt), and the strength of the magnetic field at the neutron star surface, Bs= 3.2*1019 (P*dp/dt)0.5 G. Lines of constant characteristic age and surface magnetic field are shown. All MSPs lie below the spin-up line. The group of x-ray pulsars in the upper right corner are known as magnetars. R. N.

  24. Many models predict that the symmetry energy first increases and then decreases above certain supra-saturation densities. The symmetry energymay even become negative at high densities. According to Xiao et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 062502 (2009)), constrained by the recent terrestrial nuclear laboratory data, the nuclear matter could be described by a super softer EOS — MDIx1. 1.

  25. Can not support the observations of neutron stars!

  26. (2). Super-soft symmetry energy encountering non-Newtonian gravity in neutron stars The inverse square-law (ISL) of gravity is expected to be violated, especially at less length scales. The deviation from the ISL can be characterized effectively by adding a Yukawa term to the normal gravitational potential In the scalar/vector boson (U-boson ) exchange picture, and Within the mean-field approximation, the extra energy density and the pressure due to the Yukawa term is • E.

  30. Conclusion • It is shown that the super-soft nuclear symmetry energy preferred by the FOPI/GSI experimental data can support neutron stars stably if the non-Newtonian gravity is considered; • Observations of pulsars constrain the g2/2 in a rough range of 50~150 GeV-2.

  31. V. Gravitational Radiation from oscillations of neutron star

  32. (I). Gravitational Radiation and detection Why do We Need to Study Gravitational Waves? • 1. Test General Relativity: • probe of strong-field gravity • 2. Gain different view of Universe: • (1) Sources cannot be obscured by dust / stellar envelopes • (2) Detectable sources are some of the most interesting, least understood in the Universe Gravitational Waves = “Ripples in space-time”

  33. Possible Sources of Gravitational Waves From Neutron star Supernovae “Mountain” on neutron star Compact binary Orbital decay of the Hulse-Taylor binary neutron star system (Nobel prize in 1993) is the best evidence so far. Oscillating neutron star

  36. The importance for astrophysics (II). Oscillation modes A network of large-scale ground-based laser-interferometer detectors (LIGO, VIRGO, GEO600, TAMA300) is on-line in detecting the gravitational waves (GW). Theorists are presently try their best to think of various sources of GWs that may be observable once the new ultra-sensitive detectors operate at their optimum level. GWs from non-radial neutron star oscillations are considered as one of the most important sources. MNRAS(2001)320,307

  37. 1. Axial w-modes of static neutron stars The non-radial neutron star oscillations could be triggered by various mechanisms such as gravitational collapse, a pulsar “glitch” or a phase transition of matter in the inner core. Axial mode: under the angular transformation θ→ π − θ, ϕ → π + ϕ, a spherical harmonic function with index ℓ transforms as (−1)ℓ+1 for the expanding metric functions. Polar mode: transforms as (−1)ℓ Axial w-mode: not accompanied by any matter motions and only the perturbation of the space-time.

  40. 2. R-modes Euler equations in the rotating frame (1). Background In Newtonian theory, the fundamental dynamical equation (Euler equations) that governs the fluid motion in the co-rotating frame is external force Coriolis force Acceleration = centrifugal force where is the fluid velocity and represents the gravitational potential.

  41. Definition of r-mode For the rotating stars, the Coriolis force provides a restoring force for the toroidal modes, which leads to the so-called r-modes. Its eigen-frequency is or It is shown that the structure parameters (M and R) make sense for the through the second order of . Class. Quantum Grav. 20 (2003) R105P111/p113

  42. APJ,222(1978)281 CFS instability and canonical energy canonical energy (conserved in absence of radiation and viscosity): The function Ec govern the stability to nonaxisymmetric perturbations as: (1) if , stable; (2) if , unstable. For the r-mode, The condition Ec < 0 is equivalent to a change of sign in the pattern speed as viewed in the inertial frame, which is always satisfied for r-mode. gr-qc/0010102v1

  43. Images of the motion of r-modes • The fluid motion has no radial component, and is the same inside the star although smaller by a factor of the square of the distance from the center. • Fluid elements (red buoys) move in ellipses around their unperturbed locations. Seen by a non-rotating observer (star is rotating faster than the r-mode pattern speed) seen by a co-rotating observer. Looks like it's moving backwards Note: The CFS instability is not only existed in GR, but also existed in Newtonian theory. http://www.phys.psu.edu/people/display/index.html?person_id=1484;mode=research;research_description_id=333

  44. Viscous damping instability • The r-modes ought to grow fast enough that they are not completely damped out by viscosity. • Two kinds of viscosity, bulk and shear viscosity, are normally considered. • At low temperatures (below a few times 109 K) the main viscous dissipation mechanism is the shear viscosity arises from momentum transport due to particle scattering.. • At high temperature (above a few times 109 K) bulk viscosity is the dominant dissipation mechanism. Bulk viscosity arises because the pressure and density variations associated with the mode oscillation drive the fluid away from beta equilibrium.

  45. The r-mode instability window Condition: To have an instability we need tgw to be smaller than both tsv and tbv. For l= m= 2 r-mode of a canonical neutron star (R= 10 km and M= 1.4M⊙and Kepler period PK≈ 0.8 ms (n=1 polytrope)). Int.J.Mod.Phys. D10 (2001) 381

  46. (a) Old neutron stars (having crust) in LMXBs with rapid rotating frequency (such as EXO 0748-676) may have high core temperature (arXiv:1107.5064v1.); which hints that there may exist r-mode instability in the core. (b) The discovery of massive neutron star (PRS J1614-2230, Nature 467, 1081(2010) and EXO 0748-676,Nature 441, 1115(2006)) reminds us restudy the r-mode instability of massive NS, as most of the previous work focused on the 1.4Msun neutron star. (c) The constraint on the symmetric energy at sub-saturation density range and the core-crust transition density by the terrestrial nuclear laboratory data could provide constraints on the r-mode instability.
