Area of Science:

  • Astronomy and Astrophysics
  • Nuclear Physics
  • Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Background:

  • Neutron stars are remnants of supernovae, possessing extremely dense cores.
  • The internal structure, particularly the superfluid nature of cores, remains poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of future gravitational-wave detectors for observing neutron star oscillations.
  • To investigate how detecting these oscillations can illuminate the superfluid properties of neutron star cores.
  • To enhance the understanding of pulsar glitches through neutron star oscillation data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing theoretical models of pulsating superfluid neutron star cores.
