DYNAMICAL INSTABILITY
GROWS RAPIDLY DYNAMICAL TIMESCALE
= TIME FOR SOUND TO CROSS STAR
SECULAR INSTABILITY

That is:A forward mode, with J > 0, radiates positive J to A backward mode, with J < 0, radiates negative J to
Radiation damps all modes of a spherical star

But, a rotating star drags a mode in the direction of thestar's rotation:
A mode with behavior that moves)( tmie
backward relative to the star is dragged forward relative to , when
m
The mode still has J < 0, becauseJstar + J mode < J star .
Thisbackward mode, with J < 0, radiates positive J to .Thus J becomes increasingly negative, and THE AMPLITUDE OF THE MODE GROWS

OBSERVATIONAL SUPRISE:16 ms pulsar seen in a supernova remnant

![Page 17: INSTABILITIES OF ROTATING RELATIVISTIC STARS John Friedman University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Gravitation and Cosmology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f165503460f94c2c857/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In a young (5000 yr old) supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud, Marshall et al found a pulsar with a 16 ms period and a spin-down time ~ lifetime of the remnant This, for the first time, implies:
A class of neutron stars have millisecond periods at birth.
OBSERVATIONAL SUPRISE:16 ms pulsar seen in a supernova remnant
![Page 18: INSTABILITIES OF ROTATING RELATIVISTIC STARS John Friedman University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for Gravitation and Cosmology](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f165503460f94c2c857/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
A nearly simultaneous THEORETICAL SURPRISE:
A new variant of a gravitational-wave driven instability of relativistic stars may limit the spin of newly formed pulsars and of old neutron stars spun up by accretion.
The newly discovered instability may set the initial spin of pulsars in the newly discovered class.

DOES THE INSTABILITY SURVIVE THE PHYSICS OF A REAL NEUTRON STAR?
Will nonlinear couplings limit the amplitude to v/v << 1?
Will a continuous spectrum from GR or differential rotation eliminate the r-modes?
Will a viscous boundary layer near a solid crust
windup of magnetic-field from 2ndorder differential
rotation of the mode
bulk viscosity from hyperon production
kill the instability?

Equilibrium
With no neutrinos emitted, dissipation comes from the net p dV work done in an out-of-equilibrium cycle
As fluid element contracts, nucleons change to hyperons; if reactions are too slow to reach equilibrium, have more nucleons and higher pressure than in equilibrium
Fluid expands: if reactions too slow,more hyperons and lower pressure than in equilibrium

105 107 109 1011 (From Lindblom-Owen-Morsink Figure) Temperature (K)
Shear viscosity kills instability atlow temperature
Bulk viscosity from hyperons cuts off instability below a few x 109 K
Standard cooling (modified URCA) still allows a one- day spin down, radiating most of the initial KE
Bulk viscosity kills instability at high temperature
But faster cooling is more likely:direct URCA cools in seconds, allowing hyperon interactionsor a crust to damp the instabilitybefore it has a chance to grow

Density above which the core has hyperons is not well understood. Few hyperons at low density implies few hyperons at low mass:

Young stars: Nothing yet definitively kills the r-mode instability in nascent NSs, but there are too many plausible ways it may be damped to bet in favor of its existence.
Old stars:Surprisingly, the nonlinear limit on amplitudeand the more efficient damping mechanisms allowed by hyperon or quark cores enhance the probability of seeing gravitational waves from r-mode unstable LMXBs
