Effect of dynamical gravitomagnetic tides on measurability of tidal parameters for binary neutron stars using gravitational waves

Gravitational waves (GWs) from binary neutron stars (NSs) have opened unique opportunities to constrain the nuclear equation of state by measuring tidal effects associated with the excitation of characteristic modes of the NSs. This includes gravitomagnetic modes associated with the Coriolis effect, whose frequencies are proportional to the NS's spin frequency, and for which the spin orientation determines the subclass of modes that are predominantly excited. We advance the GW models for these effects that are needed for data analysis by first developing a description for the adiabatic signatures from gravitomagnetic modes in slowly rotating NSs. We show that they can be encapsulated in an effective Love number which differs before and after a mode resonance. Combining this with a known generic model for abrupt changes in the GWs at the mode resonance and a point-mass baseline leads to an efficient description which we use to perform case studies of the impacts of gravitomagnetic effects for measurements with Cosmic Explorer, an envisioned next-generation GW detector. We quantify the extent to which neglecting (including) the effect of gravitomagnetic modes induces biases (significantly reduces statistical errors) in the measured tidal deformability parameters, which depend on the equation of state. Our results substantiate the importance of dynamical gravitomagnetic tidal effects for measurements with third generation detectors.
