During the inspiral of a binary neutron star, viscous processes in the neutron star matter can damp out the tidal energy induced by its companion and convert it to thermal energy. This tidal dissipation/heating process introduces a net…

The excitation of $f$-mode in a neutron star member of coalescing binaries accelerates the merger course, and thereby introduces a phase shift in the gravitational waveform. Emphasising on the tidal phase shift by aligned, rotating stars,…
