Weber, F; Glendenning, N K

The impact of the nuclear equation of state on the properties of rotating neutron stars from two different sources, stable rotation at the general relativistic Kepler period and rotation at the gravitational radiation-reaction driven instability mode, is analyzed. For this purpose models of rotating neutron stars are constructed in the framework of Einstein's theory of general relativity by applying a refined version of Hartle's perturbative stellar structure equations. The investigation is based on a representative collection of a total of seventeen nuclear equations of state, covering both non-relativistic as well as relativistic ones. 41 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
