We study the tidal effects of a Kerr black hole on a neutron star in black hole-neutron star binary systems using a semi-analytical approach which describes the neutron star as a deformable ellipsoid. Relativistic effects on the neutron star self-gravity are taken into account by employing a scalar potential resulting from relativistic stellar structure equations. We calculate quasi-equilibrium sequences of black hole-neutron star binaries, and the critical orbital separation at which the star is disrupted by the black hole tidal field: the latter quantity is of particular interest because when it is greater than the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit, a short gamma-ray burst scenario may develop.

  1. Nonlinear hydrodynamics in spinning neutron stars: Theoretical universal relations and equilibrium solutions

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Affine-model hydrodynamics shows three-wave NS tidal couplings are fixed by linear Love numbers, yet omit ~1.7 rad of GW phase per star by merger; four-wave terms cannot lock f-modes.
