Constraining the Equation of State of Neutron Stars from Binary Mergers

Constraining the Equation of State of Neutron Stars from Binary Mergers

Determining the equation of state of matter at nuclear density and hence the structure of neutron stars has been a riddle for decades. We show how the imminent detection of gravitational waves from merging neutron star binaries can be used to solve this riddle. Using a large number of accurate …
