Fundamental modes of rotating neutron stars with various degrees of differential rotation in dynamical spacetimes

Abstract

Violent astrophysical events, including core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers, can result in rotating neutron stars with diverse degrees of differential rotation. Oscillation modes of these neutron stars could be excited and emit strong gravitational waves. Detecting these modes may provide information about neutron stars, including their structures and dynamics. Hence, dynamical simulations were employed to construct relations for quantifying the oscillation mode frequency in previous studies. Specifically, linear relations for the frequencies of fundamental $l=0$ quasi-radial mode $f_F$ and fundamental $l=2$ quadrupolar mode $f_{{}^{2}f}$ were constructed by simulations with the Cowling approximation. Nevertheless, these relations can overestimate $f_F$ and underestimate $f_{{}^{2}f}$ up to $\sim 30\%$. Furthermore, it has yet to be fully studied how the degree of differential rotation affects $f_F$ and $f_{{}^{2}f}$. Here, for the first time, we consider both various degrees of differential rotation $\Tilde{A}$ and dynamical spacetime to construct linear relations for quantifying $f_F$ and $f_{{}^{2}f}$. Through 2D axisymmetric simulations, we first show that both $f_F$ and $f_{{}^{2}f}$ scale almost linearly with the stellar compactness $M/R$ for different values of $\Tilde{A}$. We also observe the quasi-linear relations for both $f_F$ and $f_{{}^{2}f}$ with the kinetic-to-binding energy ratio $T/|W|$ for different $\Tilde{A}$ values. Finally, we constructed linear fits that can quantify $f_F$ and $f_{{}^{2}f}$ by $T/|W|$. Consequently, this work updated the relations for the fundamental modes of rotating neutron stars with differential rotations in dynamical spacetime.
