Dynamical tides during the inspiral of rapidly spinning neutron stars: Solutions beyond mode resonance

Dynamical tides during the inspiral of rapidly spinning neutron stars: Solutions beyond mode resonance

We investigate the dynamical tide in coalescing binaries involving neutron stars (NSs). The deformed NS is assumed to spin rapidly, with its spin axis anti-aligned with the orbit. Such an NS may exist if the binary forms dynamically, and it can lead to a strong tide because the NS f-mode …
