Magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars with multipole magnetic fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars are candidates for producing continuous gravitational waves. We formulate a magnetically confined mountain on a neutron star with strong multipole magnetic fields and obtain some sequences of numerical solutions.

Modelling neutron star mountains in relativity [PDF]

open access: yesMon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 507, 116 (2021), 2021
Rapidly spinning, deformed neutron stars have long been considered potential gravitational-wave emitters. However, so far only upper limits on the size of the involved quadrupole deformations have been obtained. For this reason, it is pertinent to ask how large a mountain can be before the neutron star crust fractures.
