Abstract: Tidal effects have important imprints on gravitational waves
emitted during the final stage of the coalescence of binaries that
involve neutron stars. Dynamical tides can be significant when neutron
star oscillations become resonant with orbital motion. Understanding
this process is important for accurately modeling gravitational wave
emission from these binaries, and for extracting neutron star
information from gravitational wave data. In this talk, I give a brief
introduction to the concept of dynamical tides and outline recent
progress. In particular, I describe the impact of dynamical tides on
gravitational-wave parameter estimation.
