R-mode instability in compact stars
Abstract
R-mode oscillations have been identified as viable and promising targets for continuous gravitational wave searches, meanwhile, it would allow us to probe the interior of compact stars directly. As well as emitting gravitational wave, r-modes would strongly affect the thermal and spin evolution of compact stars. In this paper, we reviewed the theory behind the gravitational wave driven r-mode instability in a rapidly rotating compact star. In particular, we will focus on r-mode instability window, r-mode evolution and detectability of r-mode.
