Continuous Gravitational Waves from Thermal Mountains on Accreting Neutron Stars: Effect of the Nuclear Pasta Phase

As density increases, the shape of nuclei transitions to nonspherical “nuclear pasta” structures. The physical properties of the nuclear pasta, such as thermal conductivity and elasticity, have implications for detecting continuous gravitational waves from a rapidly rotating neutron star. In this wo...
