Three evolutionary paths for magnetar oscillations

Quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) have been seen in the light curves following several magnetar giant flares. These oscillations are of great interest as they probably provide our first ever view of the normal modes of oscillation of neutron stars. The state of the art lies in the study of the oscillations …
