Motivation As proposed by some authors, waves
may exist on neutron star surfaces due to the tidal force of their companion stars or the return current from their magnetosphere. These possible waves may propagate on the stellar surface, periodically affect the emission mechanisms and leave some indelible signatures. If these waves can be detected, they will be very helpful to probe the structure of neutron stars.

IntroductionIntroduction First discovered in 1972 by the SAS-2 satellit
e. It was detected in x-ray by Einstein Observa
tory in 1983. An optical counterpart of the Geminga was f
ound by Bignami et al. (1987). It was found to be a rotation-powered pulsa
r with a period of 237 ms in x-rays by ROSAT (Halpern & Holt 1992) and in γ-rays by the EGRET on the CGRO (Bertch et al. 1992).
