Wilson has proposed a simpler but approximate scheme for systems near equilibrium, like binary neutron stars. We test the scheme on isolated, rapidly rotating, relativistic stars. Since these objects are in equilibrium, it is crucial that the approximation work well if we are to believe its predictions for more complicated systems like binaries. Our results are very encouraging.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1995-12-05T15:17:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "04.25.Dm", "04.40.Dg" ], "keywords": [ "numerical relativity", "einsteins equations", "simplified version", "binary neutron stars", "general relativity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
