Abstract
The tidal problem is used to obtain the tidal deformability (or Love number) of stars. The semi-analytical study is usually treated in perturbation theory as a first order perturbation problem over a spherically symmetric background configuration consisting of a stellar interior region matched across a boundary to a vacuum exterior region that models the tidal field. The field equations for the metric and matter perturbations at the interior and exterior regions are complemented with corresponding boundary conditions. The data of the two problems at the common boundary are related by the so called matching conditions. These conditions for the tidal problem are known in the contexts of perfect fluid stars and superfluid stars modelled by a two-fluid. Here we review the obtaining of the matching conditions for the tidal problem starting from a purely geometrical setting, and present them so that they can be readily applied to more general contexts, such as other types of matter fields, different multiple layers or phase transitions. As a guide on how to use the matching conditions, we recover the known results for perfect fluid and superfluid neutron stars.
