abstract
Observations of the properties of multiple coalescing neutron stars will simultaneously provide insight into neutron star mass and spin distribution, the neutron star merger rate, and the nuclear equation of state. Not all merging binaries containing neutron stars are expected to be identical. Plausible sources of diversity in these coalescing binaries can arise from a broad or multi-peaked NS mass distribution; the effect of different and extreme NS natal spins; the possibility of NS-BH mergers; or even the possibility of phase transitions, allowing for NS with similar mass but strongly divergent radius. In this work, we provide a concrete algorithm to combine all information obtained from GW measurements into a joint constraint on the NS merger rate, the distribution of NS properties, and the nuclear equation of state. Using a concrete example, we show how biased mass distribution inferences can significantly impact the recovered equation of state, even in the small-$N$ limit. With the same concrete example, we show how small-$N$ observations could identify a bimodal mass and spin distribution for merging NS simultaneously with the EOS. Our concordance approach can be immediately generalized to incorporate other observational constraints.

Binary neutron stars in the next-generation era: Multi-messenger detection prospects and constraints on the equation of state, mass distribution, and cosmology
With ET (and ET+CE), mock multi-messenger BNS catalogues yield ~40–500 EM counterparts per year and, under ideal recovery, constrain R1.4 to ~0.2 km and H0 to ~1 km s−1 Mpc−1.

Fortifying gravitational-wave population inference with normalizing flows
Representing each gravitational-wave event's posterior with a normalizing flow lets analysts generate enough cheap posterior samples to keep the Monte-Carlo variance of population inference below threshold for catalog...

Probing Spin-Orbit Resonances with the Binary Black Hole Population
Population-level inference on the azimuthal spin angle phi12 can recover simulated spin-orbit resonant features, but no definitive evidence exists in current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data.

Inference of Neutron Star Mass Distributions and the Dense Matter Equation of State from Multi-messenger Observations
A joint Bayesian analysis finds that a uniform prior on the NS maximum mass, rather than on EoS parameters, shifts the inferred Mmax from 2.09 to 2.15 Msun for polytropic EoS and raises the LMXB population mean.

Cosmic Calipers: Precise and Accurate Neutron Star Radius Measurements with Next-Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
Future gravitational wave detectors should measure most neutron star radii to within about 5%, while current detectors give biased and imprecise estimates.
