  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.
