General-relativistic treatment of tidal <i>g</i>-mode resonances in coalescing binaries of neutron stars โ€“ I. Theoretical framework and crust breaking

ABSTRACT During the final stages of a neutron-star binary coalescence, stellar quasi-normal modes can become resonantly excited by tidal fields. If the strain exerted by the excited modes exceeds the extent to which the crust can respond linearly, localized crustal failures may occur. In this work, we re-examine resonant g-mode โ€ฆ
