Resonant oscillations and tidal heating in coalescing binary neutron stars
Resonant oscillations and tidal heating in coalescing binary neutron stars
Tidal interaction in a coalescing neutron star binary can resonantly excite the g-mode oscillations of the neutron star when the frequency of the tidal driving force equals the intrinsic g-mode frequencies. We study the g-mode oscillations of cold neutron stars using recent microscopic nuclear equations of state, where we determine …
