Modeling Tidal Disruptions with Dynamical Tides
Zihan Zhou, Giovanni Maria Tomaselli, Irvin MartÃnez-RodrÃguez +1
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars pass close enough to supermassive black holes to be torn apart by tidal forces. Traditionally, these events are studied with computa…

Fisher Forecast of Finite-Size Effects with Future Gravitational Wave Detectors
Joshua Shterenberg, Zihan Zhou
We use Fisher information theory to forecast the bounds on the finite-size effects of astrophysical compact objects with next-generation gravitational wave detectors, including the…

Investigating tidal heating in neutron stars via gravitational Raman scattering
M. V. S. Saketh, Zihan Zhou, Suprovo Ghosh +2
We present a scattering amplitude formalism to study the tidal heating effects of nonspinning neutron stars incorporating both worldline effective field theory and relativistic ste…
