TLDR
The evolution of a neutron-star r-mode driven unstable by gravitational radiation is studied here using numerical solutions of the full nonlinear fluid equations to study the nonlinear evolution of the mode.Abstract:
The evolution of a neutron-star $r$-mode driven unstable by gravitational radiation is studied here using numerical solutions of the full nonlinear fluid equations. The dimensionless amplitude of the mode grows to order unity before strong shocks develop which quickly damp the mode. In this simulation the star loses about $40%$ of its initial angular momentum and $50%$ of its rotational kinetic energy before the mode is damped. The nonlinear evolution causes the fluid to develop strong differential rotation which is concentrated near the surface and poles of the star.read more

Viscosity and Rotation in Core-Collapse Supernovae
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the evolution of a fiducial 11 M? nonrotating progenitor with its evolution when including a wide range of imposed initial rotation profiles (1.25 s < P0 < 8 s).

Rotating Stars in Relativity
TL;DR: The latest theoretical understanding of rotating stars in relativity is reviewed and several new sections have been added on equilibria in modified theories of gravity, approximate universal relationships, the one-arm spiral instability, and on analytic solutions for the exterior spacetime.

The Spin Periods and Rotational Profiles of Neutron Stars at Birth
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results from an extensive set of one-and two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulations of the supernova core-collapse, bounce, and postbounce phases and focus on the proto-neutron star (PNS) spin periods and rotational profiles.

Gravitational Wave Emission from Core Collapse of Massive Stars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived estimates for the characteristics of gravitational radiation from stellar collapse, using recent models of the core collapse of Chandrasekhar-massed white dwarfs (accretion-induced collapse), core-collapse supernovae and collapsars, and the collapse of very massive stars (300 M?).

Numerical Hydrodynamics in General Relativity
TL;DR: The present update provides additional information on numerical schemes, and extends the discussion of astrophysical simulations in general relativistic hydrodynamics, with special mention of conservative and hyperbolic formulations well- adapted to advanced numerical methods.
