Pulsating relativistic stars

Abstract

In this paper we review the recent developments in the relativistic theory of stellar pulsations with special emphasis on the spacetime or w-modes. We discuss also the excitation of these modes and the information about the neutron star that we will be able to mine from their detection. The paper will appear in the Proceedings of the Les Houches School on Astrophysical Sources of Gravitational Radiation, 1995, edited by J.-A. Marck and J.-P. Lasota to be published by Springer-Verlag.
