Pulsation modes for increasingly relativistic polytropes

Abstract

We present the results of a numerical study of the fluid $f$, $p$ and the gravitational $w$ modes for increasingly relativistic nonrotating polytropes. The results for $f$ and $w$-modes are in good agreement with previous data for uniform density stars, which supports an understanding of the nature of the gravitational wave modes based on the uniform density data. We show that the $p$-modes can become extremely long-lived for some relativistic stars. This effect is attributed to the change in the perturbed density distribution as the star becomes more compact.
