Measuring the nuclear equation of state with neutron star-black hole mergers
Gravitational-wave (GW) observations of neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers are sensitive to the nuclear equation of state (EOS). We present a new methodology for EOS inference with nonparametric Gaussian process priors, enabling direct constraints on the pressure at specific densities and the length-scale of correlations on the EOS. Using realistic …
