Y. Kojima & M. Saijo (2008), Phys. Rev. D, vol. 78, Issue 12, id. 124001: Amplification of azimuthal modes with odd wave numbers during dynamical bar-mode growth in rotating stars

Nonlinear growth of the bar-mode deformation is studied for a differentially rotating star with supercritical rotational energy. In particular, the growth mechanism of some azimuthal modes with odd wave numbers is examined … Mode coupling to even modes, i.e., the bar mode and higher harmonics, significantly enhances the amplitudes of odd modes …

H. A. Williams & J. E. Tohline (1988), ApJ, 334, 449: Circumstellar Ring Formation in Rapidly Rotating Protostars

Two of the models that were studied in Williams & Tohline (1987) — specifically, the models having n = 0.8 and 1.8 — … are shown as they evolve to extremely nonlinear amplitudes: the end result in both cases is … The models shed a fraction of their mass and angular momentum, producing a ring which surrounds a more centrally condensed object … The central object is a triaxial figure that is rotating about its shortest axis.

J. L. Houser, J. M. Centrella & S. C. Smith (1994), PRL, 72, 1314: Gravitational radiation from nonaxisymmetric instability in a rotating star

Using Newtonian dynamics and Newtonian gravity … we have carried out computer simulations of a differentially rotating compact star with a polytropic equation of state undergoing the dynamical bar instability. This instability has previously been modeled numerically by Tohline and collaborators in the context of star formation … Our work is the first to calculate [using a post-Newtonian approximation] the gravitational radiation produced by this instability, including wave forms and luminosities. It is also a significant advance over the earlier studies because, in addition to using better numerical techniques, we model the fluid correctly using an energy equation. This is essential due to the generation of entropy by shocks during the later stages of the evolution.

M. Saijo (2018), Phys. Rev. D, 98, 024003: Determining the stiffness of the equation of state using low T/W dynamical instabilities in differentially rotating stars

We investigate the nature of low T/W dynamical instabilities in various ranges of the stiffness of the equation of state in differentially rotating stars … We analyze these instabilities in both a linear perturbation analysis and a three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation … the nature of the eigenfunction that oscillates between corotation and the surface for an unstable star requires reinterpretation of pulsation modes in differentially rotating stars.
