Viscous damping of r-modes and emission of gravitational waves
摘要
The Rossby mode (r-mode) perturbation in pulsars as a steady gravitational wave source has been explored. The effect of a rigid crust on viscous damping and dissipation rate in the boundary layer between the fluid core and the crust has been studied. The intensity of the emitted GWs in terms of the strain tensor amplitude has been estimated with the approximation of slow rotation using equation of state derived from the APR and Skyrme effective interactions with Brussels–Montreal parameter sets. The core of the neutron star has been considered to be
