Taylor Instabilities in Relativistic Stars
Abstract
Using the relativistic Schwarzschild criterion for the onset of convection, we show that the density of total mass-energy inside a spherically symmetric relativistic star must decrease monotonically outward from the center to the surface. Otherwise a Taylor-type instability will develop.
