The EOS of strongly interacting matter at densities ten to fifteen orders of magnitude larger than the typical density of terrestrial macroscopic objects determines a number of neutron star properties, including the pattern of gravitational waves emitted following the excitation of nonradial oscillation modes. This paper reviews some of the approaches employed to model neutron star matter, as well as the prospects for obtaining new insights from the experimental study of gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars.

AbstractThe equation of state (EOS) is still the big unknown in the physics of neutron stars. An accurate measurement of both the mass and the radius of a neutron star would put severe constraints on the range of possible EOSs. I discuss how the parameters of the oscillation modes of a neutron star, measured from the emitted gravitational waves, can in principle be used to infer its mass and radius, and thus reveal its EOS.

Gravitational waves astronomy allows us to study objects and events invisible in electromagnetic waves. It is crucial to validate the theories and models of the most mysterious and extreme matter in the Universe: the neutron stars. In addition to inspirals and mergers of neutrons stars, there are currently a few proposed mechanisms that can trigger radiation of long-lasting gravitational radiation from neutron stars, such as e.g., elastically and/or magnetically driven deformations: mountains on the stellar surface supported by the elastic strain or magnetic field, free precession, or unstable oscillation modes (e.g., the r-modes). The astrophysical motivation for continuous gravitational waves searches, current LIGO and Virgo strategies of data analysis and prospects are reviewed in this work.

AbstractIn the limit of short wavelengths, it has been shown that superfluidity significantly affects wave propagation in neutron stars. Here we abandon the short-wavelength restriction and extend these calculations to global oscillation modes. In the present analysis, the solid crust of the neutron star is divided into an outer crust and an inner crust, and a superfluid of neutrons coexists with the solid lattice in the inner crust. We have computed several low-order global spheroidal modes for l = 2 both with and without superfluidity. We find that superfluidity in the inner crust affects the frequency spectra of acoustic (p-) modes, shear (s-) modes, and interfacial (i-) modes, although the surface gravity (g-) modes are not affected at all.
