Maximum Mass Of Differentially Rotating Strange Quark Stars
Magdalena Szkudlarek, Dorota Gondek-Rosińska, Loïc Villain +1
We present the first fully relativistic numerical calculations of differentially rotating Strange Quark Stars models for broad ranges of the maximum density and of the degree of di…
A new view on the maximum mass of differentially rotating neutron stars
Dorota Gondek-Rosinska, Izabela Kowalska, Loic Villain +2
We study the main astrophysical properties of differentially rotating neutron stars described as stationary and axisymmetric configurations of a moderately stiff polytropic f…
Merger states and final states of black hole coalescences: a numerical-relativity-assisted effective-one-body approach
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Loic Villain
We study to what extent the effective-one-body description of the dynamical state of a nonspinning, coalescing binary black hole (considered either at merger, or after ringdown) ag…
Measurability of the tidal polarizability of neutron stars in late-inspiral gravitational-wave signals
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Loic Villain
The gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral contains information on the nuclear equation of state. This information is contained in a combination of the tidal…
On the Solution Space of Differentially Rotating Neutron Stars in General Relativity
Marcus Ansorg, Dorota Gondek-Rosińska, Loïc Villain
A highly accurate, multi-domain spectral code is used in order to construct sequences of general relativistic, differentially rotating neutron stars in axisymmetry and stationarity…
MHD of rotating compact stars with spectral methods: description of the algorithm and tests
S. Bonazzola, L. Villain, M. Bejger
A flexible spectral code for the study of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics is presented. Aiming at investigating the physics of slowly rotating magnetized compact stars, t…
