Differentially rotating scalarized neutron stars with realistic post-merger profile
arXiv:2303.07769 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.024058
Abstract
The merger remnant of a binary neutron star coalescence is initially strongly differentially rotating. Some properties of these remnants can be accurately modeled through building equilibrium neutron star models. In the present paper, we study how a modification of general relativity, namely scalar-tensor theory with a massive scalar field, will alter the picture. In contrast to previous studies, we implement a realistic phenomenological differential rotational law which allows for neutron star models to attain maximal angular velocity away from the center. We find that solutions with much higher masses and angular momenta exist in scalar-tensor theory compared to general relativity. They keep their quasi-spherical energy-density distribution for significantly higher values of the angular momentum before transitioning to quasi-toroidal models, in contrast to pure general relativity. Constructing such neutron star solutions is the first step to our final goal that is studying how scalarization alters the stability and gravitational wave emission of post-merger remnants.
