We analyse the consequences of a possible detection of such modes via the gravitational waves associated with them, especially addressing our study to the Brazilian spherical antenna, on which a possible detection would occur at 3.0 - 3.4 kHz. A question related to any putative gravitational wave detection concerns the source that produces it. We argue that, since the characteristic damping times for the gravitational waves of neutron stars and black holes are different, a detection can distinguish between them, and also distinguish the neutron star's oscillating modes. Moreover, since the source can be identified by its characteristic damping time, we are able to extract information about the neutron star or black hole. This information would lead, for example, to a strong constraint in the nuclear matter equation of state, namely the compression modulus should be K approximate to 220 MeV. %8 Nov. %N 22 %T Determining the neutron star equation of state using the narrow-band gravitational wave detector Schenberg %K GAMMA-RAY BURSTS, QUARK STARS, MODELS, DETECTABILITY, PROGRESS, MASS. %@secondarytype PRE PI %@archivingpolicy denypublisher denyfinaldraft12 %@usergroup administrator %@usergroup marciana %@usergroup simone %@group DAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@group DAS-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@issn 0264-9381 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m16@80/2006/11.23.12.10.43 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %B Classical and Quantum Gravity %@versiontype publisher %P 6345-6356 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m16@80/2006/11.23.12.10 %@documentstage not transferred %D 2006 %V 23 %A Marranghello, Guilherme F., %A Araújo, José Carlos Neves de, %@dissemination WEBSCI; PORTALCAPES; COMPENDEX. %@area CEA
