Scientific paper

Rapidly rotating neutron stars (NS's) are a possibly-detectable source of gravitational waves (GW's). To be measurable by a detector of the LIGO-II caliber, the gravitational waves must have amplitude h of order a few times 10-27 (for an integration time of order a year). I will review several possible mechanisms for GW emission from NS's: unstable r-modes, non-axisymmetric deformations (i.e., small "mountains"), and NS free precession.
