摘要
In this paper we present a new approach to the inverse problem for relativistic stars using quasinormal modes and the piecewise polytropic parametrization of the equation of state. The algorithm is a piecewise polytropic meshing and refinement method that reconstructs the neutron star equation of state from experimental data of the mass and the wI-quasinormal modes. We present an algorithm able to numerically calculate axial quasinormal modes of neutron stars in an efficient way. We use an initial mesh of 27440 equations of state in a 4-volume of piecewise polytropic parameters that contains most of the candidate equations of state used today. The refinement process drives us to the reconstruction of the equation of state with a certain precision. Using the reconstructed equation of state, we calculate predictions for tidal deformability and slow rotation parameters (moment of inertia and quadrupole moment, for example). In order to check the method with an explicit example, we use as input data a few (five) configurations of a given equation of state. We reconstruct the equation of state in a quite good approximation, and then we compare the curves of physical parameters from the original equation of state and the reconstructed one. We obtain a relative difference for all of the parameters smaller than 2.5% except for the tidal deformability, for which we obtain a relative difference smaller than 6.5%. We also study constraints from GW170817 event for the reconstructed equation of state.
