We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling $p$ modes and $g$ modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This nonresonant instability transfers energy from the orbit of the binary to internal modes of the stars, accelerating the gravitational-wave driven inspiral. We model the impact of this instability on …
