Description

ABSTRACT

Isolated rotating and oscillating compact superdense objects are representing one of the largest group of potential sources for permanent gravitational wave radiation. I will present results of our theoretical calculations for Neutron Stars and white dwarfs. For the models of Neutron stars energy of glitches/unexpected jumps in rotating frequency/ is taken as a source feeding gravitational wave radiation. Main parameters of GW radiation from three different types of models for white dwarfs will be presented then. I will discuss the results and explain why white dwarfs that are forming the largest group of potential sources for GW radiation/somehow underestimated now/ are so important for gravitational wave physics
