Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Eberhard-Karls University of Tübingen,Tübingen, Germany
- Was awarded “summa cum laude” by the Eberhard-Karls University of Tübingen, Germany
- Describes concisely the second-order perturbation formalism for stellar oscillations and then applies it to unstable neutron star modes, presenting the first results for their saturation and the detectability of the generated gravitational-wave signals
- Includes an extensive historical and theoretical overview of neutron star oscillations and secular instabilities driven by viscosity and gravitational waves related to ellipsoidal figures of equilibrium and to the renowned “Earth shape” problem
