GW1 - Sources of Gravitational Waves

Speaker

Owen, Benjamin

Talk Title

Permanent neutron star quadrupoles

Abstract

I summarize recent developments on "permanent" neutron star quadrupoles, often called mountains, both normal nuclear matter in the crust and possible exotic solid phases in the core. After summarizing theoretical work I outline the observational consequences, especially in relation to continuous gravitational waves and magnetar flares.
