« Modelling neutron stars in the event of GR-exit. » |
Kostas Glampedakis |
This talk presents a recent effort to develop a parametrised “post-GR”
framework for modelling non-rotating relativistic stars without adhering to any particular alternative theory of gravity. The resulting “post-TOV” formalism comprises equations for the stellar interior and exterior that deviate from the general relativistic ones by the addition of compact parametrised post-Newtonian terms. We discuss a number of interesting astrophysical applications of the post-TOV toolkit together with the prospect of constraining possible deviations from GR. We conclude by giving some pointers on future improvements of the formalism. |
