Abstract
We explore the correlation between the pre-merger tidal deformability and the post-merger remnant oscillations seen in numerical simulation of neutron star binaries, with the aim of understanding to what extent the physics support the existence of such a relation. We consider the impact of thermal and rotational effects and argue that the proposed relation does, indeed, make sense and provide simple arguments that help explain the result.
