Inside a neutron star – new insights from gravitational waves - Interesting Engineering

The University of Birmingham researchers have demonstrated how unique vibrations caused by interactions between the two stars' tidal fields as they approach each other effect gravitational-wave observations.

"If we neglect these additional effects, our understanding of the structure of the neutron star as a whole can become deeply biased," added Pratten, the lead author of the paper. LIGO and Virgo Coll… [+1274 chars]
