The GEO600 Gravitational Wave Detector -- Pulsar Prospects
G. Woan
The GEO600 laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector near Hannover, Germany, is one of six such interferometers now close to operation worldwide. The UK/German GEO collabor…
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…
Vortex Unpinning in Precessing Neutron Stars
B. Link, C. Cutler
The neutron vortices thought to exist in the inner crust of a neutron star interact with nuclei and are expected to pin to the nuclear lattice. Evidence for long-period precession…
Gravitational Waves from Low-Mass X-ray Binaries: a Status Report
Greg Ushomirsky, Lars Bildsten, Curt Cutler
We summarize the observations of the spin periods of rapidly accreting neutron stars. If gravitational radiation is responsible for balancing the accretion torque at the observed s…
Deformations of Accreting Neutron Star Crusts and Gravitational Wave Emission
Greg Ushomirsky, Curt Cutler, Lars Bildsten
Motivated by the narrow range of spin frequencies of nearly 20 accreting neutron stars, Bildsten (1998) conjectured that their spin-up had been halted by the emission of gravitatio…
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…
