11 Moment of Inertia Spin angular momentum Angular frequency How fast one can spin given a spin angular momentum. Mao Asada

12 Quadrupole Moment Quadrupolar deformation away from sphere. Potential: non-rotating

13 Love Numbers (Apsidal Constants) Love number Disturbing potential Tidal Love Number (Tidally induced) Quadrupole Moment Tidal Potential Rotational Love Number (Spin induced) Quadrupole Moment Centrifugal Potential

14 Contents 1 Introduction 2 I, Love, Q 3 Universal Relations 4 Application (I): GW physics 5 Application (II): Fundamental Physics 6 Summary

15 Dimensionless Quantities Assumptions -uniform & slow rotation -small & stationary deformation -isotropic pressure

16 Love-Love Relation Newtonian limit

17 I-Love Relation Newtonian limit

18 Q-Love Relation Newtonian limit

19 Analytic I-Love-Q in the Newtonian limit etc. n=0 and 1 polytropic EoSs

20 Why I-Love-Q? (I) Increasing the NS compactness Approaches the BH limit where the no-hair theorem holds

21 Why I-Love-Q? (II) (Newtonian) I-Love-Q depend most sensitively on the NS outer layer

22 Neutron Stars (NSs) vs Quark Stars (QSs) quark star neutron star I-Love-Q relations One can distinguish NSs and QSs

23 dynamical deformation I-Love-Q Forever Maselli et al. (2013) NS/NS binary inspiral

26 Measurement Accuracies of I Love Q Advance rate of periastron of double binary pulsar [Lattimer & Schutz (2004)] GWs from compact binary inspiral GW phase (equal-mass NS/NS):

27 difficult to measure are measureable

28 Spin Accuracy Without Q-Love relation With Q-Love relation The averaged spin can be measured within O(0.01).

29 Contents 1 Introduction 2 I, Love, Q 3 Universal Relations 4 Application (I): GW physics 5 Application (II): Fundamental Physics 6 Summary

30 I-Love Relation for different mass systems Universal relations still hold for systems with different masses.

31 Testing GR 10 6 times stronger than the current solar system bound.

32 Love-C Relation This might be more practical.

33 Contents 1 Introduction 2 I, Love, Q 3 Universal Relations 4 Application (I): GW physics 5 Application (II): Fundamental Physics 6 Summary

34 -We found universal relations between the NS moment of inertia, tidal Love number and quadrupole moment that do not depend on the EoS. Applications: (I) Astrophysics: (II) GW physics: -One can distinguish NSs and QSs -Any 1 measurement of the I-Love-Q trio would automatically gives the other 2 quantities. -The NS spin can be measured to O(0.01). (III) Fundamental physics: -Theory-independent & EoS-independent test of GR

35 Future Work: -Rapidly or differentially rotating NS -Why such universal relations hold? NS no-hair conjecture? -Extending Fisher to Bayesian analysis -Model-independent & EoS-independent test of GR with NS oscillations

36 Future Work: -Rapidly or differentially rotating NS -Why such universal relations hold? NS no-hair conjecture? -Extending Fisher to Bayesian analysis -Model-independent & EoS-independent test of GR with NS oscillations
