HOW MANY NEUTRON STARS ARE BORN RAPIDLY ROTATING? HOW MANY NEUTRON STARS ARE BORN RAPIDLY ROTATING? NIKOLAOS STERGIOULAS DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS ARISTOTLE UNIVERSITY OF THESSALONIKI ENTAPP, 23/1/2006

WHY DO WE NEED RAPID ROTATION? 1.Core-bounce signal in axisymmetric collapse For slow rotation detectable only within Galaxy, but rapid rotation allows larger distances. Nonlinear couplings may enhance GW emission. 2.Dynamical bar-mode instability Need T/|W|>0.24. If bar persists for many periods, signal detectable out to the Virgo cluster. 3.Low T/|W| m=2 instability Need only T/|W|>0.01, but need a high degree of differential rotation. Has h eff ~ at 100Mpc(!) 4.Low T/|W| m=1 instability Need T/|W|>0.08 and a high degree of differential rotation. GWs through nonlinear m=2 mode excitation, only detectable in our Galaxy. 5.CFS f-mode instability Needs T/|W|>0.08 to operate. If T/|W|>0.25 and α~1, detectable to 100Mpc! 6.r-mode instability in young strange stars Needs millisecond initial periods. For α~10 -3 there may be several sources in our Galaxy at any time – detectable with a few weeks integration. Several GW emission mechanisms during NS formation rely on rapid rotation: But, are NS born rapidly rotating?

Typical Progenitors A large fraction of progenitor stars are initially rapidly rotating: Spruit & Phinney 1998, Spruit 2002, Heger, Woosley & Spruit 2004 The average rotation of OB type stars on the main sequence is 25% of break up speed. About 0.3% of B stars have Ω > 67% of breakup, e.g.of Regulus in Leo: 86% of breakup. When the progenitor passes through the Red Supergiant (RSG) phase it has a huge envelope of several hundred times the initial radius. The core’s differential rotation produces a magnetic field by dynamo action that couples the core to the outer layers, transferring away angular momentum. This leads to slowly rotating neutron stars at birth (~10-15ms). But: Magnetic Torques can Spin Down the Core! Is there a way out of this?

By-Passing the RSG Phase Massive Stars (M>25Msun) evolve very rapidly. Two advantages: a) There is not sufficient time to slow down the core effectively! b) A strong wind (WR phase) will expel the envelope, preventing slow down of core by magnetic torques. A strong wind (high mass-loss rate) allows NS to be formed instead of a BH, but could also carry away a lot of angular momentum. Mass-loss rate is lower if the star has low metallicity. In addition, rapidly rotating WR stars may lose mass mainly at the poles (temperature is higher there) => angular momentum loss is lower. Rapidly rotating cores produced by right mixture of high mass and low metallicity Observational evidence: 1) magnetar produced by 30-40Msun progenitor 2) magnetar with > 40Msun progenitor in star cluster Gaensler et al.2005 Muno et al.2005 Massive rapidly rotating cores => millisecond NS => magnetars. e.g. Wheeler et al.2000

Additional Paths to Rapid Rotation Additional Paths to Rapid Rotation 1) Rotational mixing in OB stars: If a binary companion strips the outer envelope of a massive star before core collapse, the RSG phase is avoided. (see Fryer & Kalogera 2001, Pfahl et al. 2002, Podsiadlowski et al. 2003, Ivanova & Podsiadlowski 2003) Rapid rotation in massive OB stars can induce deep rotational mixing, preventing the RSG phase (stars stay on main sequence). Woosley & Heger (2005) estimate that 1% of all stars with mass >10Msun will produce rapidly rotating cores. Woosley & Heger ) Loss of envelope in binary evolution: 3) Fall-back accretion (see e.g. Watts & Andersson, 2002) 4) Binary WD mergers (Middleditch 2003) Also, suggested as alternative magnetar formation mechanism, with event rate 0.3/year at ~ 40Mpc. Suggested as ms pulsar formation mechanism in globular clusters. (Levan et al. 2006)

CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS Typical core collapse will lead to slowly rotating NSs - most GW mechanisms not operating/not detectable at good event rates. But, there are several ways to produce rapidly rotating NSs at birth, but only in ~1% of SN events. Still, the strongest GW mechanisms (those detectable beyond theVirgo cluster) may have good event rates for advanced LIGO/VIRGO type of detectors. Need to focus more on strongest GW mechanisms both theoretically and by narrow-banding/improving detectors in 1-3kHz range.
