Non-Radial Oscillations in Rotating White Dwarfs
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Extract
In previous work (Papaloizou and Pringle, 1978), we investigated analytically the low frequency spectrum of a rotating pulsating star, taking the effects of rotation fully into account. In that case we found that not only are the g-modes substantially modified by the rotation, but also that a new set of modes appear (the r modes) which are similar to Rossby waves in the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans.
