Phys. Rev. D 62, 107504 (2000) [4 pages]Scattering of particles by neutron stars: Time evolutions for axial perturbationsReceived 12 July 2000; published 23 October 2000 The excitation of the axial quasi-normal modes of a relativistic star by scattered particles is studied by evolving the time dependent perturbation equations. This work is the first step towards the understanding of more complicated perturbative processes, such as the capture or the scattering of particles by rotating stars. In addition, it may serve as a test for the results of the full nonlinear evolution of binary systems. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
