abstract
We study axial quasinormal modes of static neutron stars in the nonminimal derivative coupling sector of Horndeski theory. We focus on the fundamental curvature mode, which we analyse for ten different equations of state with different matter content. A comparison with the results obtained in pure General Relativity reveals that, apart from modifying the spectrum of the frequencies and the damping times of the stars, this theory modifies several universal relations between the modes and physical parameters of the stars, that are otherwise matter-independent.

Axial $w$-modes of anisotropic neutron stars
Axial w-mode frequencies of anisotropic neutron stars decrease monotonically with mass, depend approximately linearly on compactness with anisotropy modifying slope and intercept, damping times increase with mass, and empirical expressions are given for both as functions of compactness and anisotrop
