FRAME DRAGGING EFFECT ON MOMENT OF INERTIA AND RADIUS OF GYRATION OF NEUTRON STAR

Accurate to the first order in the uniform angular velocity, the general relativistic frame dragging effect of the moments of inertia and the radii of gyration of two kinds of neutron stars are calculated in a relativistic σ – ω model. The calculation shows that the dragging effect will diminish the moments of inertia and radii of gyration.
