abstract
The gravitational wave emission by a distorted rotating fluid star is computed. The distortion is supposed to be symmetric around some axis inclined with respect to the rotation axis. In the general case, the gravitational radiation is emitted at two frequencies: $\Omega$ and $2\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is the rotation frequency. The obtained formul\ae\ are applied to the specific case of a neutron star distorted by its own magnetic field. Assuming that the period derivative $\dot P$ of pulsars is a measure of their magnetic dipole moment, the gravitational wave amplitude can be related to the observable parameters $P$ and $\dot P$ and to a factor $\beta$ which measures the efficiency of a given magnetic dipole moment in distorting the star. $\beta$ depends on the nuclear matter equation of state and on the magnetic field distribution. The amplitude at the frequency $2\Omega$, expressed in terms of $P$, $\dot P$ and $\beta$, is independent of the angle $\alpha$ between the magnetic axis and the rotation axis, whereas at the frequency $\Omega$, the amplitude increases as $\alpha$ decreases. The value of $\beta$ for specific models of magnetic field distributions has been computed by means of a numerical code giving self-consistent models of magnetized neutron stars within general relativity. It is found that the distortion at fixed magnetic dipole moment is very dependent of the magnetic field distribution; a stochastic magnetic field or a superconductor stellar interior greatly increases $\beta$ with respect to the uniformly magnetized perfect conductor case and might lead to gravitational waves detectable by the VIRGO or LIGO interferometers. The amplitude modulation of the signal induced by the daily rotation of the Earth has been computed and specified to the case of the Crab pulsar and VIRGO

New Universal Relations for Magnetized Neutron Stars
Magnetized neutron stars with dipole fields obey a new exact relation between dipole moment and compactness, and approximate EoS-insensitive relations among dipole moment, quadrupole moment, and ellipticity.

Investigating field burial by magnetically confined accretion mounds on Neutron Stars
Accretion mounds on neutron stars spread equator-ward as their mass grows, measurably burying the dipole field for low-field stars, and a new current-free boundary condition removes dependence on the outer domain size.

Turbulence in Magnetised Neutron Stars
Magnetic-field instabilities in a neutron star drive a Kolmogorov-like turbulent cascade and a 145 Hz oscillation in the highest-resolution runs to date, while net magnetic helicity remains near zero.

Magnetic field dynamics in isolated neutron stars with an external dipole field
Long-term numerical relativity simulations find that neutron star magnetic fields relax to stable mixed configurations with toroidal energy fraction ≲10% within one Alfvén time after Tayler instability saturation.

Impact of rotation on magnetic field stability and orientation in isolated neutron stars
In 3D GRMHD simulations, neutron star rotation delays Tayler, kink, and Parker instabilities, so faster-spinning models retain more magnetic energy over 10 Alfven times.

Constrain magnetar parameters by taking into account the evolutionary effects of radius and moment of inertia with \emph{Swift}/XRT data
Allowing the radius and moment of inertia of a newborn magnetar to evolve during spin-down changes inferred GRB magnetar parameters by 20 to 50 percent and yields correlations among field, spin, and ellipticity.
