AN INSTABILITY DUE TO THE NONLINEAR COUPLING OF p-MODES TO g-MODES: IMPLICATIONS FOR COALESCING NEUTRON STAR BINARIES

A weakly nonlinear fluid wave propagating within a star can be unstable to three-wave interactions. The resonant parametric instability is a well-known form of three-wave interaction in which a primary wave of frequency ω [subscript a] excites a pair of secondary waves of frequency ω [subscript b] +...
