Non-Linear Development of the Secular Bar-Mode Instability in Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars

We present results from investigations of the nonlinear development of the secular bar-mode instability that is driven by gravitational radiation-reaction (GRR) forces in rotating neutron stars. Our fully three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations have shown that, in the absence of any competing v...
