THE STABILITY OF TIDALLY DEFORMED NEUTRON STARS TO THREE- AND FOUR-MODE COUPLING
THE STABILITY OF TIDALLY DEFORMED NEUTRON STARS TO THREE- AND FOUR-MODE COUPLING
It has recently been suggested that the tidal deformation of a neutron star excites daughter p- and g-modes to large amplitudes via a quasi-static instability. This would remove energy from the tidal bulge, resulting in dissipation and possibly affecting the phase evolution of inspiralling binary neutron stars and hence the …
