Description
In this talk I will describe how spinning neutron stars can produce long-lived gravitational wave signals. I will explain how the strength of this emission relates to the properties of the star, and describe the connection with the properties of matter at very high density. I will also describe efforts to detect such gravitational waves directly, and outline the key issues in this large experimental endeavour.
