tendency of rotation-dominated oscillation modes in spinning neutron stars to grow by emitting gravitational waves, limiting how fast such stars can spin.

In astrophysics, r-mode instability refers to tendency of rotation-dominated oscillation modes in spinning neutron stars to grow by emitting gravitational waves, limiting how fast such stars can spin. This meaning comes from Andersson (1998) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
