Abstract
It was recently revealed that a rotating compact body responds dynamically when it is subjected to a gravitomagnetic tidal field, even when this field is idealized as time independent. The dynamical response is characterized by time-changing internal currents, and it was suspected to originate from zero-frequency $g$-modes and $r$-modes driven by the tidal forces. In this paper, we provide additional insights into the phenomenon by examining the tidal response of a rotating body within the framework of post-Newtonian gravity. This approach allows us to develop an intuitive picture for the phenomenon, which relies on the close analogy between post-Newtonian gravity and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. In this picture, the coupling between the gravitomagnetic tidal field and the body's rotational velocity is naturally expected to produce an unbalanced Lorentz-like force within the body, and it is this force that is responsible for the tidal currents. The simplicity of the fluid equations in the post-Newtonian setting allows us to provide a complete description of the zero-frequency modes and demonstrate their precise role in the establishment of the tidal currents. We estimate the amplitude of these currents, and find that for neutron-star binaries of relevance to LIGO, the scale of the velocity perturbation is measured in kilometers per second when the rotation period is comparable to 100 milliseconds. This estimate indicates that the tidal currents may have a significant impact on the physics of neutron stars near merger.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
