Slowly rotating Tolman VII solution

Abstract

We present a model of a slowly rotating Tolman VII (T-VII) fluid sphere, at second order in the angular velocity. The structure of this configuration is obtained by integrating the Hartle-Thorne equations for slowly rotating relativistic masses. We model a sequence in adiabatic and quasi-stationary contraction, by varying the tenuity parameter $R/R_{\mathrm{S}}$, where $R$ is the radius of the configuration and $R_{\mathrm{S}}$ is its Schwarzschild radius. We determined the moment of inertia $I$, mass quadrupole moment $Q$, and the ellipticity $\epsilon$, for various configurations. Similar to previous results for Maclaurin and polytropic spheroids, in slow rotation, we found a change in the behaviour of the ellipticity when the tenuity reaches a certain critical value. We compared our results of $I$ and $Q$ for the T-VII model with those predicted by the universal fittings proposed for realistic neutron stars. For the relevant range of compactness, we found that relative errors are within $10\%$, thus suggesting the T-VII solution as a very good approximation for the description of the interior of neutron stars.
