Description
We will review recent progress in the study of neutron star seismology, the excitation of rotational instabilities and the associate emission of gravitational waves. We will show the detectability limits of such instabilities for neutron stars emerging from collapse or the aftermath of binary mergers (afterglow). Finally, we will discuss recent progress in the study of neutron stars in alternative theories of gravity.
