Abstract: 

Continuous gravitational waves (GWs) from single neutron stars (NSs) are one the main targets for GW searches using ground-based detectors. As a possible mechanism, magnetic deformation of NSs may not only produce detectable GW signals, but also affect the electromagnetic radiation of NSs. GWs from magnetic deformation of NSs may be affected by the dense matter equation of state, internal magnetic fields, and mutual frictions between superfluid neutrons and other particles in the stellar interior. In this seminar, I will talk about the GWs from magnetic deformation of NSs and related NS internal physics.
