Resonant tidal excitation of oscillation modes in merging binary neutron stars: Inertial-gravity modes
Resonant tidal excitation of oscillation modes in merging binary neutron stars: Inertial-gravity modes
In coalescing neutron star (NS) binaries, tidal force can resonantly excite low-frequency ($\ensuremath{\lesssim}500\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{Hz}$) oscillation modes in the NS, transferring energy between the orbit and the NS. This resonant tide can induce phase shift in the gravitational waveforms, and potentially provide a new window of studying NS interior using …
