Neutron star questions

I'm interested in whether there could be standing waves in a neutron
star.

It seems that the entire star would vibrate with spherical
harmonics. Am I correct in thinking that these would be sound
waves. I wonder what the speed of sound is in a neutron star. It
would seem to vary from region to region. How about in the superfluid
core? I would guess that determining the precise nature of these
vibrations would be quite hairy, so a (very) rough idea would do.

Would there be much of a magnetic field in the interior of the neutron
star?

It seems to me that electromagnetic radiation would not tend to form
standing waves, since various waves don't interact. It isn't like
ocean waves, which tend to join together.

What about neutrinos? Since they were recently found to be matter
(just barely), that could be different. To get a standing wave it
would be necessary to have something reflect them.

Whatta buncha wimps! I'm outta here.
