Unveiling the universality of I-Love-Q relations

Y. -H. Sham, T. K. Chan, L. -M. Lin +1

The recent discovery of the universal I-Love-Q relations connecting the moment of inertia, tidal deformability, and the spin-induced quadrupole moment of compact stars is intriguin…

Multipolar universal relations between f-mode frequency and tidal deformability of compact stars

T. K. Chan, Y. -H. Sham, P. T. Leung +1

Though individual stellar parameters of compact stars usually demonstrate obvious dependence on the equation of state (EOS), EOS-insensitive universal formulas relating these param…

Testing universal relations of neutron stars with a nonlinear matter-gravity coupling theory

Y. -H. Sham, L. -M. Lin, P. T. Leung

Due to our ignorance of the equation of state (EOS) beyond nuclear density, there is still no unique theoretical model for neutron stars (NSs). It is therefore surprising that univ…

Compact stars in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity: Anomalies associated with phase transitions

Y. -H. Sham, P. T. Leung, L. -M. Lin

We study how generic phase transitions taking place in compact stars constructed in the framework of the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity can lead to anomalous behavio…

Radial oscillations and stability of compact stars in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity

Y. -H. Sham, L. -M. Lin, P. T. Leung

We study the hydrostatic equilibrium structure of compact stars in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity recently proposed by Banados and Ferreira [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 01110…
