Authors: B. Haskell, N. Andersson, D.I. Jones, L. Samuelsson Date: 22 Aug 2007 Abstract: We estimate the maximal deformation that can be sustained by a rotating neutron star with a crystalline colour superconducting quark core. Our results suggest that current gravitational-wave data from LIGO may already be constraining the relevant QCD parameters. We discuss the uncertainties associated with our simple model and how it can be improved in the future. |
