Uncovering the Hidden Mountains of Neutron Stars: How They Generate Gravitational Waves
In a recent study, researchers have discovered that mountains on neutron stars can generate their own gravitational waves. This breakthrough adds to our understanding of how these mysterious phenomena are formed and may even open new avenues for the detection of gravitational waves. The findings, which were published in the journal Nature Astronomy, suggest that the mountains on neutron stars can generate gravitational waves due to their rapid rotation. This means that these waves could be detected from Earth with the help of future gravitational wave observatories.
