"Constraints on the r-modes in the pulsar J0537-6910"

Alessio Zicoschi (La Sapienza, Roma)

PSR J0537-6910 is a young energetic X-ray pulsar and is the most frequent glitcher known. The inter-glitch braking index of the pulsar suggests that gravitational-wave emission due to r-mode oscillations may play an important role in the spin evolution of this pulsar. The talk will be based on the recent analysis from the LIGO collaboration: "Constraints from LIGO O3 data on gravitational-wave emission due to r-modes in the glitching pulsar PSR J0537-6910" , see https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.14417
