    Analysis of historical records show that Romano's Star was likely quiescent from 1900 until five outbursts occurred between 1960 and 2010. The brightness is not constant during maximum but shows variations on a timescale of months. The third of the five outbursts was the brightest, peaking at magnitude 16.5. [2]

    Neutron stars are thought to have high rigidity in the crust, and thus a low Love number: ; [6] [7] isolated, nonrotating black holes in vacuum have vanishing Love numbers for all multipoles =. [ 8 ] [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Measuring the Love numbers of compact objects in binary mergers is a key goal of gravitational-wave astronomy .
