abstract
In this brief note, we clarify certain aspects related to the magnetic (i.e., odd parity or axial) tidal Love numbers of a star in general relativity. Magnetic tidal deformations of a compact star had been computed in 2009 independently by Damour and Nagar and by Binnington and Poisson. More recently, Landry and Poisson showed that the magnetic tidal Love numbers depend on the assumptions made on the fluid, in particular they are different (and of opposite sign) if the fluid is assumed to be in static equilibrium or if it is irrotational. We show that the zero-frequency limit of the Regge-Wheeler equation forces the fluid to be irrotational. For this reason, the results of Damour and Nagar are equivalent to those of Landry and Poisson for an irrotational fluid, and are expected to be the most appropriate to describe realistic configurations.

Analytical proof establishes universality of late-time ringdown tails for any effective potential decaying as 1/r², with different power-law behavior for 1/r^α (1<α<2), covering charged black holes, Kerr, exotic objects, modified gravity, and environmental matter distributions.
For a specific R=0 wormhole, the magnetic Love number for ℓ=2 vanishes to linear order in the regularization parameter under static axial gravitational perturbations.
