Abstract
The prospects for detection of gravitational waves from precessing pul sars have been considered by constructing fully relativistic rotating neutron star models and evaluating the expected wave amplitude h from a galactic source. For a 'typical' neutron matter equation of state an d observed rotation rates, it is shown that moderate wobble angles may lead to an observable signal from a nearby source when the present ge neration of interferometric antennas becomes operative.
