As evidenced by the coincident detections of GW170817 and GRB 170817A, short gamma-ray bursts are likely associated with neutron star-neutron star merger events. Although rare, some bursts display episodes of early emission, with precursor flares being observed up to similar to 10 seconds prior to the main burst. As the stars inspiral due to gravitational wave emission, the exertion of mutual tidal forces leads to the excitation of stellar oscillation modes, which may come into resonance with the orbital motion. Mode amplitudes increase substantially during a period of resonance as tidal energy is deposited into the star. The neutron-star crust experiences shear stress due to the oscillations and, if the resonant amplitudes are large enough, may become overstrained. This overstraining can lead to fractures or quakes which release energy, thereby fueling precursor activity prior to the merger. Using some simple Maclaurin spheroid models, we investigate the influence of magnetic fields and rapid rotation on tidally forced f and r modes, and connect the associated eigenfrequencies with the orbital frequencies corresponding to precursor events seen in, for example, GRB 090510.
