Abstract
It is now known that the r-modes of neutron stars are subject to a gravitational radiation­ driven instability in astrophysically realistic conditions. This instability will cause some rapidly rotating newborn neutron stars to spin down in the first year after their birth, emit­ting gravitational wave signals which may be detectable by the "enhanced" LIGO and VIRGO interferometers out to the Virgo cluster of galaxies-a distance at which several events per year may occur. The r-mode instability may also cause older accreting neutron · stars in low mass x-ray binaries to emit gravitational waves detectable within our own galaxy.
