Description

Binary neutron stars and neutron star-black hole systems are some of the most promising sources for gravitational-wave observations with Advanced terrestrial interferometer detectors. For such systems, the matter contributes to the spacetime dynamics, leaving an imprint on the gravitational radiation from the system. I will discuss how we can understand and model this imprint, so that we can use it to constrain our understanding of the properties of dense matter. I will also outline aspects requiring further work.
