abstract

Neutron stars are excellent emitters of gravitational waves. Squeezing matter beyond nuclear densities invites exotic physical processes, many of which violently transfer large amounts of mass at relativistic velocities, disrupting spacetime and generating copious quantities of gravitational radiation. I review mechanisms for generating gravitational waves with neutron stars. This includes gravitational waves from radio and millisecond pulsars, magnetars, accreting systems and newly born neutron stars, with mechanisms including magnetic and thermoelastic deformations, various stellar oscillation modes and core superfluid turbulence. I also focus on what physics can be learnt from a gravitational wave detection, and where additional research is required to fully understand the dominant physical processes at play.

Plasticity of Neutron Star Crusts

astro-ph.HE · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

MD simulations identify a universal post-break plastic flow in neutron star crusts at shear strains of 0.05-0.11, independent of initial crystal structure.

Axial $w$-modes of anisotropic neutron stars

gr-qc · 2026-05-03 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0 · 2 refs

Axial w-mode frequencies of anisotropic neutron stars decrease monotonically with mass, depend approximately linearly on compactness with anisotropy modifying slope and intercept, damping times increase with mass, and empirical expressions are given for both as functions of compactness and anisotrop

Science Case for the Einstein Telescope

astro-ph.CO · 2019-12-05 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

The Einstein Telescope will enable gravitational-wave observations up to cosmological distances, opening avenues for discoveries in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics.
