Results from an Einstein@Home search for continuous gravitational waves from Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. using LIGO O2 data
Jorge Morales, Jing Ming, Maria Alessandra Papa +2
We conduct two searches for continuous, nearly monochromatic gravitational waves originating from the central compact objects in the supernova remnants Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. us…

Limiting Rotation Rate of Neutron Stars from Crust Breaking and Gravitational Waves
J. A. Morales, C. J. Horowitz
Neutron stars are not observed to spin faster than about half their breakup rate. This limiting rotational frequency may be related to the strength of their crusts. As a star spins…

Finite-Element Simulations of Rotating Neutron Stars with Anisotropic Crusts and Continuous Gravitational Waves
J. A. Morales, C. J. Horowitz
``Mountains'', or non-axisymmetrical deformations in the elastic crust of rotating neutron stars are efficient radiators of continuous gravitational waves. Recently, small anisotro…
