Effects of neutron-star dynamic tides on gravitational waveforms within the effective-one-body approach
read the original abstract
Extracting the unique information on ultradense nuclear matter from the gravitational waves emitted by merging, neutron-star binaries requires robust theoretical models of the signal. We develop a novel effective-one-body waveform model that includes, for the first time, dynamic (instead of only adiabatic) tides of the neutron star, as well as the merger signal for neutron-star--black-hole binaries. We demonstrate the importance of the dynamic tides by comparing our model against new numerical-relativity simulations of nonspinning neutron-star--black-hole binaries spanning more than 24 gravitational-wave cycles, and to other existing numerical simulations for double neutron-star systems. Furthermore, we derive an effective description that makes explicit the dependence of matter effects on two key parameters: tidal deformability and fundamental oscillation frequency.

Dynamical tidal Love numbers of black holes under generic perturbations: Connecting black hole perturbation theory with effective field theory
Dynamical tidal Love numbers for Kerr black holes are obtained to linear frequency order by matching EFT worldline couplings to black-hole perturbation solutions, including spin-induced mode mixing.

The Good, the Bad, and the Subtle: Relativistic mode sums for neutron-star tidal response
A practical relativistic mode-sum method for neutron-star tidal response is implemented, with robust f-mode agreement to direct matching but acknowledged limitations in convergence and tidal field uniqueness.
