A constrained Gaussian-process bridge prior generates model-agnostic, nonparametric, thermodynamically consistent priors for neutron-star equation-of-state inference.
Neural-network surrogate accelerated MCMC infers multipolar magnetic field parameters for PSR J0740+6620 from NICER data, finding broad multimodal posteriors and disfavoring a zero-offset model.
Requiring causal stable thermodynamically consistent extensions of neutron-star EOS models to perturbative QCD constrains high-density behavior and disfavors purely nucleonic descriptions for all stable stars.
A semi-supervised VAE trained on Skyrme EOS data reconstructs equations of state with mean absolute percentage errors under 0.14% using two supervised observables (M_max, R_1.4) and one variational latent variable.
Joint MCMC analysis of Chandra and XMM-Newton quiescent spectra yields M = 1.77^{+0.17}_{-0.22} M_⊙ and R = 12.62^{+0.56}_{-0.74} km at 7.1 kpc, with conservative ranges 1.41-2.11 M_⊙ and 10.15-15.13 km when distance uncertainty is included.
Simpson-Visser regularization of Schwarzschild-AdS black holes yields a van der Waals-type temperature branch structure with three coexisting equilibria and topological charge W=+1 for regularization parameter below 1/sqrt(24), distinguishing it from the Schwarzschild-AdS case.
Mass-gap compact objects could be hybrid stars only with very early deconfinement and stiff quark matter; confirming 1.4 M⊙ twin stars would cap hybrid-star maximum mass below 2.2 M⊙.
Joint NICER+IXPE pulse-profile modeling of SRGA J144459.2-604207 favors large neutron-star mass and radius with two independent hotspots but shows strong sensitivity to joint-analysis methodology.
Multi-messenger observations of neutron stars imply L=42.6–52 MeV (piecewise polytrope) or 44.2–56.7 MeV (speed-of-sound) at 68% credibility, and show pQCD constraints barely change the posterior EOS.
NLED alters photon propagation near magnetars, producing ~10% errors in inferred radii via ray-tracing and a minimal ~350 ns travel-time delay.
A centered swept-back multipolar magnetic field up to octupole order reproduces the bolometric thermal X-ray light curve of MSP J0030+0451.
A Bayesian combination of eight M-R posteriors for PSR J0030+0451 yields M = 1.46^{+0.09}_{-0.08} M_⊙, R = 12.69^{+0.64}_{-0.55} km while marginalizing over unknown model systematics.
Causal convolutional neural networks reconstruct neutron star observables for static, Keplerian, and rotating configurations in about 50 milliseconds per equation of state, compared to 30 minutes with traditional RNS calculations.
Different parametrizations of density dependence in covariant density functionals produce significant variations in the high-density equation of state and symmetry energy, with rational-function forms providing flexibility when saturation properties are adjusted and constrained by multimessenger ast
Bayesian modeling with informed priors reduces uncertainties in neutron-star crust shear properties, predicting torsional mode frequencies of 20-50 Hz compatible with observations.
Simulations show the low-T/|W| instability develops robustly across five nuclear EOS in a rapidly rotating 35 M⊙ progenitor, with dominant GW frequency correlating to PNS compactness and stiffness.
Matching FRB QPOs to crustal modes constrains the neutron star mass to 1.00-1.76 solar masses, radius to ~13 km, and nuclear symmetry energy slope L to 59.5-96.8 MeV.
Review summarizing the role of dense-matter equation of state, weak interactions, and r-process nucleosynthesis in binary neutron star mergers and their multimessenger observables.
Relativistic mean-field models provide a unified framework for describing bulk nuclear properties and the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter in neutron stars.
