Rotational Modes in A Uniformly Rotating Star
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
The linear adiabatic oscillations of a uniformly rotating star are examined with respect to a co-rotating frame of reference. It is shown that time-independent displacement fields are allowed and can be represented as toroidal fields. The time-dependent oscillation modes are governed by a system of differential equations of the fourth order in time for axisymmetri’c perturbations, and of the fifth order for non-axisymmetric perturbations. Therefore, in comparison to a non-rotating spherical star, a rotating star allows a new class of non-axisymmetric oscillation modes with non-zero frequencies. These modes correspond to the r-modes, which originate from purely toroidal displacement fields in a non-rotating spherical star.
