The Crustal Rigidity of a Neutron Star, and Implications for PSR 1828-11 and other Precession Candidates
Curt Cutler, Greg Ushomirsky, Bennett Link
We calculate the crustal rigidity parameter, b, of a neutron star (NS), and show that b is a factor 40 smaller than the standard estimate due to Baym & Pines (1971). For a NS with…

Oceanography of Accreting Neutron Stars: Non-Radial Oscillations and Periodic X-Ray Variability
Lars Bildsten, Andrew Cumming, Greg Ushomirsky +1
Observations of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the luminosity from many accreting neutron stars (NS) have led us to investigate a source of periodicity prevalent in other st…
