Compact Stars as Sources for Gravitational Waves — •Kostas Kokkotas — Theoretische Astrophysik, Universität Tübingen

We will present the most recent results concerning the dynamics of neutron stars and their relation to the emission of gravitational waves. Special emphasis will be given to: 1) recent non-linear studies of vibrating neutron stars, 2) the studies related to the differential rotation of neutron stars and 3) the present understanding of the magnetar dynamics.
