Dynamical Tides in Neutron Stars with First-Order Phase Transitions: The Role of the Discontinuity Mode

Author(s): Jonas P. Pereira, Lucas Tonetto, Michał Bejger, J. Leszek Zdunik, and Paweł Haensel During the late stages of a binary neutron star inspiral, dynamical tides induced in each star by its companion become significant and should be included in complete gravitational-wave (GW) modeling. We investigate the coupling between the tidal field and quasinormal modes in hybrid stars and show t… [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 231401] Published Mon Dec 01, 2025
