Abstract
We present relativistic hydrostatic equations for obtaining irrotational binary neutron stars in quasiequilibrium states in the formalism. The equations derived here are different from those previously given by Bonazzola, Gourgoulhon, and Marck, and have a simpler and more tractable form for computation in numerical relativity. We also present hydrostatic equations for computation of equilibrium irrotational binary stars in the first post-Newtonian order.
