Tags: Star.

A relativistic star is a rotating neutron star whose behavior is well described by general relativity but not by classical mechanics. Relativistic stars are one possible source to allow gravitational waves to be studied.Another definition of a relativistic star is one with the equation of state of a special relativistic gas. This can happen when the core of a massive main sequence star becomes hot enough to generate electron-positron pairs.
