Tidal Love numbers of neutron stars

Hinderer, Tanja

Understand

For a variety of fully relativistic polytropic neutron star models we calculate the star's tidal Love number k2.

Most realistic equations of state for neutron stars can be approximated as a polytrope with an effective index n~0.5-1.0.
The equilibrium stellar model is obtained by numerical integration of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkhov equations.
We calculate the linear l=2 static perturbations to the Schwarzschild spacetime following the method of Thorne and Campolattaro.
