Gravitational wave astronomy and spinning neutron stars
With more than one hundred observations of binary black hole and binary neutron coalescences to date, the field of gravitational wave astronomy is now well established. However, we have yet to detect a gravitational wave signal from a (single) spinning neutron star. I will explain how a spinning neutron star can emit gravitational waves, bringing together many different aspects of physics, including hydrodynamics, elasticity, MHD, superfluidity, and the behaviour of matter at extreme densities. I will describe how we are currently looking for such signals, and what we stand to learn in the event of a detection.
