Abstract:
We investigate the effects of the
quadrupole moment of rapidly rotating neutron stars (NSs)
on the motion of the accretion disks.
The geometry outside rapidly rotating NSs does not
agree with that of Kerr black holes,
so that we must correctly take into account the
quadrupole moment (and the higher multipole moments)
of NS, which depends on their equation of state.
We show that the magnitude of the quadrupole dependent term
appearing in several orbital frequencies
is comparable to that of the spin-orbit (SO) coupling term
for orbits near the surface of rapidly rotating NSs,
and effects of the quadrupole moment largely
suppress the SO coupling effect.
