Of Mountains and Molehills : Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars
arXiv:1610.08047 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.94.104036
Abstract
Surface asymmetries of accreting neutron stars are investigated for their mass quadrupole moment content. Though the amplitude of the gravitational waves from such asymmetries seem to be beyond the limit of detectability of the present generation of detectors, it appears that rapidly rotating neutron stars with strong magnetic fields residing in HMXBs would be worth considering for targeted search for continuous gravitational waves with the next generation of instruments.
