Constraining the neutron-matter equation of state with gravitational waves
Constraining the neutron-matter equation of state with gravitational waves
We show how observations of gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers over the next few years can be combined with insights from nuclear physics to obtain useful constraints on the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. In particular, the neutron-matter EoS between 1 and 2 times the …
