Description

I will discuss a framework which allows to study Dynamical Love Numbers through an Effective Field Theory, using exact solutions for a scalar field in a Schwarzschild background. I will explain how to obtain results up to O(G9) for the first Love Numbers and how to extend the work to include general compact objects.
