Key Points

  • This research aims to explore the structural and dynamic differences between rotating polytropic stars, particularly their stability and fragmentation behavior.
  • Conducted 3D hydrodynamic modeling of polytropic n = 1 stellar configurations with strong differential rotation.
  • Analyzed twin configurations sharing integral characteristics but differing structurally.
  • Examined stability and fragmentation processes, focusing on dynamic aspects.
  • Identified one configuration as practically stationary while the other is unstable and prone to fragmentation.
  • Demonstrated the development of the bar mode in the unstable configuration.
  • Calculated the gravitational wave signal associated with the fragmentation.

Abstract

Polytropic n = 1 stellar configurations with strong differential rotation have been considered. The so-called twin configurations: stars having almost identical integral characteristics, but clearly structurally different have been found. Hydrodynamic 3D modeling has been performed for two such structures and has shown that these configurations also differ in the dynamic aspect: one of them remains practically stationary, while the other turns out to be unstable with respect to the development of the bar mode and fragmentation. The gravitational wave signal accompanying the fragmentation process has been calculated.
