Spontaneous scalarization is a well-known phenomenon in scalar-tensor theories, featuring large deviations from general relativity. However, some of its signatures are hard to detect, because it is generally studied as a continuous phase transition. We show that scalarization occurs in a discontinuous (first-order) manner in many astrophysically relevant scenarios. This leads to loud signals that provide new tests of gravity. We demonstrate this in the case of gravitational wave breathing modes from a neutron star that scalarizes due to accretion, and discuss other possibilities.
