Talk Title |
Gravitational waves from neutron stars |
|
Abstract |
Direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from neutron stars will eventually enable completely new studies of dense matter composition and dynamics. I will summarize our current understanding of gravitational wave generation mechanisms in neutron stars, as constrained by both theory and electromagnetic astronomy. I will discuss what we can hope to learn from GW observations, how they will complement traditional astronomical methods, and review prospects for direct and indirect detection of GWs. |
