Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic
compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other …

Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …

Gravitational-wave observations by the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory
(LIGO) and Virgo have provided us a new tool to explore the Universe on all scales from …

One of the primary science goals of the next generation of hard x-ray timing instruments is to
determine the equation of state of matter at supranuclear densities inside neutron stars by …

This document introduces the exciting and fundamentally new science and astronomy that
the European New Gravitational Wave Observatory (NGO) mission (derived from the …

Neutron stars are excellent emitters of gravitational waves. Squeezing matter beyond
nuclear densities invites exotic physical processes, many of which violently transfer large …

Mountains on rapidly rotating neutron stars efficiently radiate gravitational waves. The
maximum possible size of these mountains depends on the breaking strain of the neutron …

Results are presented of searches for continuous gravitational waves from 20 accreting
millisecond x-ray pulsars with accurately measured spin frequencies and orbital parameters …

The birth of gravitational wave astronomy was triggered by the first detection of a signal
produced by the merger of two compact objects (also known as a compact binary …
