Anisotropic Neutron Stars Modelling: Constraints in Krori-Barua Spacetime | Zacharias Roupas

20 Jul 2020 | Abstract: | Dense nuclear matter is expected to be anisotropic due to effects such as
solidification, superfluidity, strong magnetic fields, hyperons,
pion-condesation. Therefore an anisotropic pulsars core seems more realistic
than an ideally isotropic one. We model anisotropic neutron stars working in
the Krori-Barua (KB) ansatz without preassuming an equation of state. We show
that the physics of general KB solutions is encapsulated in the compactness.
Imposing physical and stability requirements yields a maximum allowed
compactness $2GM/Rc^2 < 0.71$ for a KB-spacetime. We further input
observational data from numerous pulsars and calculate the boundary density. We
focus especially on data from the LIGO/Virgo collaboration as well as recent
independent measurements of mass and radius of miilisecond pulsars with white
dwarf companions by the extit{Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer}
(NICER). For these data the KB-spacetime gives the same boundary density which
surprisingly equals the nuclear saturation density within the data precision.
Since this value designates the boundary of a neutron core, the KB-spacetime
applies naturally to pulsars. For this boundary condition we calculate a
maximum mass of 4.1 solar masses. | Source: | arXiv, 2007.9797 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
