Gravitational physics

measure of how easily a neutron star is deformed by a companion's tidal field, imprinted on gravitational-wave signals.

In gravitational physics, tidal deformability refers to measure of how easily a neutron star is deformed by a companion's tidal field, imprinted on gravitational-wave signals. This meaning comes from Flanagan (2008) in Physical Review D.[1]
