    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 .
