A New class of unstable modes of rotating relativistic stars
TL;DR: In this article, the first numerical study of axial pulsation modes of a slowly rotating relativistic star is presented, which includes terms of first order in ≡ Ω(R3/M)1/2 1 (R is the radius, M is the mass, and Ω is the rotation frequency of the star) and accounts for effects due to the Coriolis force.

Rotating Stars in Relativity
TL;DR: The sections on the equilibrium properties and on the nonaxisymmetric instabilities in f-modes and r-Modes have been updated and several new sections have been added on analytic solutions for the exterior spacetime, rotating stars in LMXBs, rotating strange stars, and on rotatingStars in numerical relativity.

Acceleration of quantum decay processes by frequent observations
TL;DR: It is shown that the quantum Zeno effect is fundamentally unattainable in radiative or radioactive decay (because the required measurement rates would cause the system to disintegrate), but also that these processes may be accelerated by frequent measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tidal Dissipation in Rotating Giant Planets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the linearized response of a slowly and possibly differentially rotating planet to low-frequency tidal forcing and provide analytical and numerical evidence that the frequency-averaged dissipation rate may be asymptotically independent of the viscosity in the limit of small Ekman number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Axial instability of rotating relativistic stars
TL;DR: For axial perturbations (r-modes), initial data with negative canonical energy is found with angular dependence eim for all values of m ≥ 2 and for arbitrarily slow rotation as discussed by the authors.
