GROWTH RATE OF THE TIDAL p-MODE g-MODE INSTABILITY IN COALESCING BINARY NEUTRON STARS

We recently described an instability due to the nonlinear coupling of p-modes to g-modes and, as an application, we studied the stability of the tide in coalescing binary neutron stars. Although we found that the tide is p-g unstable early in the inspiral and rapidly drives modes to large energies,...
