Self-Consistent Simulations of the Bar-mode Instability in Rotating Quasi-Stable Neutron Stars
Dr. Terrence Pierre Jacques
West Virginia University

Rapidly rotating neutron stars (NSs) formed from core-collapse supernovae serve as excellent astrophysical laboratories for probing their equation of state (EoS) and internal structure. As these stars cool and contract, their spin angular momentum may increase, making them susceptible to the dynamical bar-mode instability
