Rotating Stars in Relativity
read the original abstract
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically and observationally, because of the information one could obtain about the equation of state of matter at extremely high densities and because they are considered to be promising sources of gravitational waves. The latest theoretical understanding of rotating stars in relativity is reviewed in this updated article. The sections on the equilibrium properties and on the nonaxisymmetric instabilities in f-modes and r-modes have been updated and several new sections have been added on analytic solutions for the exterior spacetime, rotating stars in LMXBs, rotating strange stars, and on rotating stars in numerical relativity.

Beaming of polarized radiation in subcritical X-ray pulsars
Numerical solutions of hydrodynamics and polarized radiative transfer show that resonant Compton scattering near the cyclotron resonance redistributes radiation and reduces light-curve modulation amplitude in subcriti...
