The masses of neutron stars are limited by an instability to
gravitational collapse and an instability driven by gravitational
waves limits their spin. Their oscillations are relevant to x-ray
observations of accreting binaries and to gravitational wave
observations of neutron stars formed during the coalescence of
double neutron-star systems. This volume includes more than forty
years of research to provide graduate students and researchers in
astrophysics, gravitational physics and astronomy with the first
self-contained treatment of the structure, stability and
oscillations of rotating neutron stars. This monograph treats the
equations of stellar equilibrium; key approximations, including
slow rotation and perturbations of spherical and rotating stars;
stability theory and its applications, from convective stability to
the r-mode instability; and numerical methods for computing
equilibrium configurations and the nonlinear evolution of their
oscillations. The presentation of fundamental equations, results
and applications is accessible to readers who do not need the
detailed derivations.
