Description
Observations of short gamma-ray bursts indicate ongoing energy injection following the prompt emission, with the most likely candidate
being the birth of a rapidly rotating, highly magnetised neutron star.
In this talk we discuss how X-ray observations of the burst remnant
can constrain properties of the nascent neutron star (such as the magnetic field-induced ellipticity and the saturation amplitude of various oscillation modes) and derive strict upper limits on the gravitational wave emission from these objects.
