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…

Irregular Repeating Tidal Disruption Events due to Diffusive Tides

Shu Yan Lau, Ethan McKeever, Hang Yu

A repeating partial tidal disruption event (rpTDE) is typically modeled as a star on a bound orbit that is partially disrupted by a massive black hole (MBH) at each pericenter pass…

Dynamical tide modified Roche limit in eccentric, asynchronous binaries

Hang Yu, Shu Yan Lau, Ethan Mckeever +2

The Roche limit, or the threshold separation within which a celestial object (the donor) M cannot remain in a stable configuration due to a companion's tidal field, has been well e…

Gravitational Radiation-Driven Chaotic Tide in a White Dwarf-Massive Black Hole Binary as a Source of Repeating X-ray Transients

Shu Yan Lau, Hang Yu

Eccentric white dwarf-massive black hole binaries can potentially source some extreme X-ray transients, including the recently observed quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions and tidal dis…

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…

Uncovering Stealth Bias in LISA observations of Double White Dwarf Binaries due to Tidal Coupling

Grace Fiacco, Neil J. Cornish, Hang Yu

Double white dwarfs are important gravitational wave sources for LISA, as they are some of the most numerous compact systems in our universe. Here we consider finite-sized effects…

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

Hang Yu, Phil Arras, Nevin N. Weinberg

We investigate the dynamical tide in a gravitational wave (GW)-driven coalescing binary involving a neutron star (NS). The NS is assumed to spin rapidly, with its spin axis anti-al…

Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Properties via Gravitational Radiation from Eccentrically Orbiting Stellar Mass Black Hole Binaries

Andrew Laeuger, Brian Seymour, Yanbei Chen +1

There may exist stellar-mass binary black holes (BBH) which merge while orbiting nearby a supermassive black hole (SMBH). In such a triple system, the SMBH will modulate the gravit…
