Description
Since the last several years, there are enormous interest in the understanding of the possible formation of massive compact objects: white dwarfs and neutron stars (also intermediate-mass black holes). This stems from many direct and indirect observations related to pulsars, type Ia supernovae, gravitational waves, and even quasi-periodic oscillations. The question also arises, if a massive compact star, e.g., a neutron star fills in the so-called mass gap between the conventional lightest mass black hole and the heaviest neutron star. One of the promising ingredients of such a massive compact star is the magnetic field. Also, varied modern equations of state may also increase mass. I will explore these possibilities to check the major responsible factor(s) for a massive compact star. Subsequently, I will explore their time evolution to determine if they can be detected by gravitational waves and electromagnetic astronomy. Note that, however, no compact star has been yet detected by continuous gravitational wave search. I will enlighten the reason for it.
