Anisotropic Fluid Model for Massive Boson Stars: Spherically Symmetric Configurations
Ethan McKeever, Victor Guedes, Shu Yan Lau +1
Boson stars are among the best-studied exotic compact objects and constitute one of the few black-hole mimickers for which both the formation mechanism and dynamical behavior can b…
Nonlinear hydrodynamics in spinning neutron stars: Theoretical universal relations and equilibrium solutions
Hang Yu, Giorgio Nicolini, Shu Yan Lau +6
We study tides during the inspiral of a binary neutron star system, including nonlinear hydrodynamical interactions. Using an affine approximation that treats the perturbed neutron…
Spacetime Quasi-normal Mode Oscillations of Anisotropic Neutron Stars
Jihao Yu, Victor Guedes, Shu Yan Lau +2
Neutron star asteroseismology offers a unique opportunity to probe nuclear physics through stellar oscillations. Although the pressure inside of a neutron star is typically assumed…
Effective-one-body model for coalescing binary neutron stars: Incorporating tidal spin and enhanced radiation from dynamical tides
Hang Yu, Shu Yan Lau
Tidal interactions in a coalescing binary neutron star (BNS) or neutron star-black hole (NSBH) system driven by gravitational wave (GW) radiation contain precious information about…
New modeling for hybrid stars with an elastic quark core
Zoey Zhiyuan Dong, Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi
Heavy neutron stars may contain solid quark cores as motivated by, e.g. the crystalline color superconducting phase, forming elastic hybrid stars (HSs). Many previous studies assum…
Astrophysical systematics on testing general relativity with gravitational waves from galactic double white dwarfs
Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi, Phil Arras
Gravitational waves have been shown to provide new constraints on gravitational theories beyond general relativity (GR), especially in the strong field regime. Gravitational wave s…
Love-C relations for elastic hybrid stars
Zoey Zhiyuan Dong, Joshua Cole Faggert, Shu Yan Lau +1
Neutron stars (NSs) provide a unique laboratory to study matter under extreme densities. Recent observations from gravitational and electromagnetic waves have enabled constraints o…
Periastron precession effect of -mode dynamical tides on gravitational waves from eccentric double white dwarfs
Shu Yan Lau, Kent Yagi, Phil Arras
The dynamical tide can play an important role in the orbital motion of close eccentric double white dwarf binaries. As the launching of the space-based gravitational-wave detector,…
