Constraining the p-mode--g-mode tidal instability with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1136

We analyze the impact of a proposed tidal instability coupling -modes and -modes within neutron stars on GW170817. This non-resonant instability transfers energy from the orb…
