Abstract
We discuss the dependence of the pulsation frequencies of the axial quasi-n ormal modes of a non-rotating neutron star upon the equation of state descr ibing the star interior. The continued fraction method has been used to com pute the complex frequencies for a set of equations of state based on diffe rent physical assumptions and spanning a wide range of stiffness. The numer ical results show that axial gravitational waves carry relevant information on both the structure of neutron star matter and the nature of the hadroni c interactions.
