We compute the binding energy and angular momentum of a test-particle at the last stable circular orbit (LSO) on the equatorial plane around a general relativistic, rotating neutron star (NS). We present simple, analytic, but accurate formulas for these quantities that fit the numerical results and which can be used in several astrophysical applications. We demonstrate the accuracy of these formulas for three different equations of state (EOS) based on nuclear relativistic mean-field theory models and argue that they should remain still valid for any NS EOS that satisfy current astrophysical constraints. We compare and contrast our numerical results with the corresponding ones for the Kerr metric characterized by the same mass and angular momentum.

  1. Short GRB 090510: a magnetized neutron star binary merger leading to a black hole

    astro-ph.HE 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    GRB 090510 is modeled as a merger of two ~1.2 solar mass neutron stars that forms a spinning 2.36 solar mass black hole, with each emission phase traced to a different energy source.

  2. On the formation of strange quark stars from supernova in compact binaries

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a binary containing a neutron star and an exploding star, hypercritical accretion can push neutron stars past the density threshold for quark deconfinement, forming strange quark stars.
