4. SUMMARY
Bar Mode structure for an n=1.5, n'=0, T/|W|=0.327 polytrope. Gravity wave pattern for a rotating nonaxisymmetric central disturbance.


  • Pulsar or Fizzler?

    • Threshold: Jt = (1-5)x1049 g cm2 s-1 for M* = 1.2 to 2 Mo

  • Dynamic Barlike Instabilities ===> Gravitational Wave Emission

  • Are Fizzlers viable targets for GW experiments?

    • Not as a burst source

    • Maybe as a continuous source

  • Future

    • Development of a hydro code with an energy equation which follows the evolution of the lepton fraction, and allows for shocks

    • Development of stelllar evolution type code to follow the secular evolution of the central bar
