Aims. Recent observations of XTE J1739-285 suggest that it contains a neutron star rotating at 1122 Hz. Such rotation imposes bounds on the structure of neutron star in XTE J1739-285. These bounds may be used to constrain poorly known equation of state of dense matter at densities ${\ga} 10^{15}~{\rm g~cm^{-3}}$. Methods. One-parameter families of stationary configurations rotating rigidly at 1122 Hz are constructed, using a precise 2D code solving Einstein equations. Hydrostatic equilibrium…

• Physics
• 2007
The possible detection of the fastest spinning nuclear-powered pulsar XTE J1739–285, of frequency 1122 Hz (0.8913 ms), arouses us to constrain the mass and radius of its central compact object and to

Parameters of rotating neutron stars with and without hyperons
The discovery of a 2 Msun neutron star provided a robust constraint for the theory of exotic dense matter, bringing into question the existence of strange baryons in the interiors of neutron stars.
A Compact Star Rotating at 1122 Hz and the r-Mode Instability
• Physics

We show that r-mode instabilities severely constrain the composition of a compact star rotating with a submillisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object,

Correlations in the properties of the static compact stars (CSs) and the ones rotating with the highest observed frequency of 1122 Hz are studied using a large set of equations of state (EOSs). These
Equation of state at high densities and modern compact star observations
• Physics
• 2007
Recently, observations of compact stars have provided new data of high accuracy which put strong constraints on the high-density behaviour of the equation of state of strongly interacting matter
