On the r-mode spectrum of relativistic stars

Abstract

We present a mathematically rigorous proof that the r-mode spectrum of relativistic stars to the rotational lowest order has a continuous part. A rigorous definition of this spectrum is given in terms of the spectrum of a continuous linear operator. This study verifies earlier results by Kojima (1998) about the nature of the r-mode spectrum.
