Rotating Relativistic Stars

By: John L. Friedman,Nikolaos Stergioulas

The masses of neutron stars are limited by an instability to gravitational collapse and an instability driven by gravitational waves limits their spin. Their oscillations are relevant to x-ray observations of accreting binaries and to gravitational wave observations of neutron stars formed during the coalescence of double neutron-star systems. This volume includes more than forty years of research to provide graduate students and researchers in astrophysics, gravitational physics and astronomy with the first self-contained treatment of the structure, stability and oscillations of rotating neutron stars. This monograph treats the equations of stellar equilibrium; key approximations, including slow rotation and perturbations of spherical and rotating stars; stability theory and its applications, from convective stability to the r-mode instability; and numerical methods for computing equilibrium configurations and the nonlinear evolution of their oscillations. The presentation of fundamental equations, results and applications is accessible to readers who do not need the detailed derivations.

Proceedings of the 10th Hellenic Relativity Conference on Recent Developments in Gravity

Kalithea/Chalkidiki, Greece, 30 May-2 June 2002

By: Kostas D. Kokkotas,Nikolaos Stergioulas

This book contains the proceedings of the 10th Hellenic Relativity Conference, held in Greece in 2002. It includes several plenary lectures given by leading experts on brane-world cosmology, radiative space-times, detection of gravitational waves, gamma-ray bursts and quantum gravity. There are a large number of contributed papers, organized into three broad subject areas: cosmology and brane gravity, mathematical relativity and astrophysical relativity, and the detection of gravitational waves. Contents: Radiative Fields in Spacetimes with Minkowski and de Sitter Asymptotics (J Bicik); Gravitational Wave Detectors: A Report from LIGO-Land (G Gonzalez); Brane-World Cosmology (R Maartens); Consistent Discrete Gravity Solution of the Problem of Time: A Model (J Pullin); Dark Energy or Extra Dimension Oscillations? (L Perivolaropoulos); Cosmic Rays and Large Extra Dimensions (D Kazanas & A Nicolaidis); Completeness Theorems in General Relativity (Y Choquet-Bruhat & S Cotsakis); Gravity Wave Boost of Cosmic Magnetic Fields (C G Tsagas et al.); Axisymmetric Modes of Differentially Rotating Neutron Stars (T A Apostolatos et al.); Stellar Perturbation Theory and the Detection of Gravitational Waves from Neutron-Star Binaries (E Berti); and other papers. Readership: Researchers and graduate students in astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology and theoretical physics.

If There is Life I Want to Live

By: Metropolitan of Mesogaia and Lavreotiki Nikolaos

I began to write it all down when I was on Mount Athos, during a period of complete solitude, while staying at the kathisma or monastic dwelling of St John the Theologian, near the small harbour of Simonopetra Monastery. I completed it later when I was staying on the island of the same St John, on Patmos, in Kouvari. Both, places of quietude and spiritual seclusion. Places of prayer. In all I only needed a few days. My sole companion was the noble disciple of love, St John. The one who truly loved and was indeed loved by Christ. The text would only be the fruit of love and quietude; it is a fruit of the desert. I would say the fruit of prayer, but I fear that this might be considered an exaggeration. The questions – I chose one hundred to make a round number – and the dialogues are all authentic. The people are also real, although of course the names have been changed. On the other hand I have not recorded the whole discussion, but I have selected certain questions. All this is not so important. What really matters is for human nature and the person of the true God to be revealed clearly and truly through the whole discussion. Nothing else in this life matters more.
