Probing the composition of sub-millisecond rotating compact stars by r-modes instability [PDF]

, 2012
We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray ...
