Study led by Nicolas Yunes reveals detectable out-of-equilibrium tidal forces in binary neutron star systems through gravitational wave analysis.
A study led by Nicolas Yunes at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has revealed new properties of neutron stars through the analysis of gravitational waves. Published in Nature Astronomy, the research indicates that out-of-equilibrium tidal forces in binary neutron star systems are detectable via these waves, providing insights into their internal viscosity. This work enhances our understanding of the universe's dynamics and could drive future technological advancements.
