Separation of spacetime and matter in polar oscillations of compact stars

Abstract

In polar oscillations of compact stars dynamical changes in spacetime and matter are in general coupled together. Based on the theory of stellar pulsation proposed by Allen et al. [Phys. Rev. D 58, 124012 (1998)], we establish a feasible approximation scheme to separate spacetime from matter in such oscillations. Two independent second-order ordinary differential equations are obtained, which lead to accurate determination of p-mode and w-mode quasi-normal modes of compact stars, respectively.
