Nonlinear Perturbations of Relativistic Stars

K. J. Kwon, Abhishek Hegade K. R., Tejaswi Venumadhav +2

We extend the general relativistic Lagrangian perturbation formalism of Friedman and Schutz [Astrophys. J. 200, 204 (1975)] beyond linear order, retaining full time dependence of t…

Impact on Inferred Neutron Star Equation of State due to Nonlinear Hydrodynamics, Background Spin, and Relativity

Joseph Bretz, Hang Yu

Tidal interaction is a unique, detectable signature in gravitational wave signals from inspiraling binary neutron stars (BNSs), which can be used to constrain the neutron star (NS)…

Relativistic and Dynamical Love

Abhishek Hegade K. R., K. J. Kwon, Tejaswi Venumadhav +2

Gravitational waves emitted in the late inspiral of binary neutron stars are affected by their tidal deformation. We study the tidal dynamics in full general relativity through mat…

Resonance locking: radian-level phase shifts due to nonlinear hydrodynamics of -modes in merging neutron star binaries

K. J. Kwon, Hang Yu, Tejaswi Venumadhav

A neutron star (NS) in a binary system deforms due to the companion's tidal gravitational field. As the binary inspirals due to gravitational wave (GW) emission, the NS's deformati…

Resonance Locking of Anharmonic -Modes in Coalescing Neutron Star Binaries

K. J. Kwon, Hang Yu, Tejaswi Venumadhav

Neutron stars in coalescing binaries deform due to the tidal gravitational fields generated by their companions. During the inspiral phase, the tidal deformation is dominated by th…
