Constraining the properties of dense matter and neutron stars by combining nuclear physics and gravitational waves from GW170817

Constraining the properties of dense matter and neutron stars by combining nuclear physics and gravitational waves from GW170817

Gravitational waves from neutron-star mergers are expected to provide stringent constraints on the structure of neutron stars. At the same time, recent advances in nuclear theory have enabled reliable calculations of the low density equation of state using effective field theory based Hamiltonians and advanced techniques to solve the quantum …
