Description
Neutron stars are expected to produce continuous gravitational waves arising due to precession and, crucially, deformations in the crust, also called mountains. The microscopical resistance to breaking used in ellipticity calculations is obtained from Molecular Dynamics simulations. In this talk I will show our results from our simulations, that incorporate finite size and magnetic fields. I will explain how non-trivial plastic deformations produced by the interplay between finite size and magnetic fields affect our understanding of the elasticity and breaking properties of the crust, and what limits on ellipticity and amplitude does it put, with eyes set on future gravitational wave detection missions.
