Tidal Love numbers of neutron stars
For a variety of fully relativistic polytropic neutron star models we calculate the star’s tidal Love number k2. Most realistic equations of state for neutron stars can be approximated as a polytrope with an effective index n ≈ 0.5 − 1.0. The equilibrium stellar model is obtained by numerical integration of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkhov equations. We calculate the linear l = 2 static perturbat...
متن کاملInterior structure models and tidal Love numbers of Titan
[1] Interior models of a differentiated Titan with an internal ammonia-water ocean and chondritic radiogenic heat production in an undifferentiated rock + iron core have been calculated. We assume thermal and mechanical equilibrium and calculate the structure of the interior as a function of the thickness of an ice I layer on top of the ocean as well as the moment of inertia factor and the tida...

متن کاملTesting Weak-Field Gravity
One of the most important problems in science today is the origin of \dark matter". Much of our understanding of the history and present state of the universe depends upon conjectures about the nature of dark matter. In some sense, our knowledge rests upon a \house of cards" which won't be buttressed until progress is made in identifying what dark matter represents. Most research today is found...
متن کاملRelativistic gravity, compact objects and strong-field gravity
This is a semi-technical presentation of the succession of events that led Einstein to formulate his theory of general relativity. We present an overview of the field of relativistic astrophysics and motivate the study of compact objects (such as neutrons stars and black holes) as strong-field gravity probes for testing possible modifications to general relativity. 1 A PANORAMA OF PHYSICS BEFOR...
