General relativistic treatment of f-mode oscillations of hyperonic stars br

We present a systematic study of f-mode oscillations in neutron stars containing hyperons, extending recent results obtained within the Cowling approximation to linearized general relativity. Employing a relativistic mean-field model, we find that the Cowling approximation can overestimate the quadrupolar f-mode frequency of neutron stars by up to 30% compared to the frequency obtained in the linearized general relativistic formalism. Imposing current astrophysical constraints, we derive updated empirical relations for gravitational wave asteroseismology. The frequency and damping time of quadrupole f-mode oscillations of hyperonic stars are found to be in the range of 1.47???2.45 kHz and 0.13???0.51 s, respectively. Our correlation studies demonstrate that among the various parameters of the nucleonic and hyperonic sectors of the model, the nucleon effective mass shows the strongest correlation with mode characteristics and neutron star observables. Estimates for the detectability off modes in a transient burst of gravitational waves from isolated hyperonic stars is also provided.
