Notes on Gravitational Physics

John L. Friedman

These notes are self-contained, with the first 7 chapters used in a one-semester course with recommended texts by Wald, by Misner, Thorne and Wheeler, and by Schutz. In its treatme…

Astrophysical Implications of Neutron Star Inspiral and Coalescence

John L. Friedman, Nikolaos Stergioulas

The first inspiral of two neutron stars observed in gravitational waves was remarkably close, allowing the kind of simultaneous gravitational wave and electromagnetic observation t…

Limits on Magnetic Field Amplification from the r-Mode Instability

John L. Friedman, Lee Lindblom, Luciano Rezzolla +1

At second order in perturbation theory, the unstable r-mode of a rotating star includes growing differential rotation whose form and growth rate are determined by gravitational-rad…

Upper limit set by causality on the tidal deformability of a neutron star

Eric D. Van Oeveren, John L. Friedman

A principal goal of gravitational-wave astronomy is to constrain the neutron star equation of state (EOS) by measuring the tidal deformability of neutron stars. The tidally induced…

Differential rotation of the unstable nonlinear r-modes

John L. Friedman, Lee Lindblom, Keith H. Lockitch

At second order in perturbation theory, the -modes of uniformly rotating stars include an axisymmetric part that can be identified with differential rotation of the background s…

Combined gravitational and electromagnetic self-force on charged particles in electrovac spacetimes

Thomas M. Linz, John L. Friedman, Alan G. Wiseman

We consider the self-force on a charged particle moving in a curved spacetime with a background electromagnetic field, extending previous studies to situations in which gravitation…
