The Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) recently measured the mass and equatorial radius of the isolated neutron star PSR J0030+0451. We use these measurements to infer the moment of inertia, the quadrupole moment, and the surface eccentricity of an isolated neutron star for the first time, using relations between these quantities that are insensitive to the unknown equation of state of supranuclear matter. We also use these results to forecast the moment of inertia of neutron star A in the double pulsar binary J0737-3039, a quantity anticipated to be directly measured in the coming decade with radio observations. Combining this information with the measurement of the tidal Love number with LIGO/Virgo observations, we propose and implement the first theory-agnostic and equation-of-state-insensitive test of general relativity. Specializing these constraints to a particular modified theory, we find that consistency with general relativity places the most stringent constraint on gravitational parity violation to date, surpassing all other previously reported bounds by seven orders of magnitude and opens the path for future a test of general relativity with multimessenger neutron star observations.

  1. Nonlinear hydrodynamics in spinning neutron stars: Theoretical universal relations and equilibrium solutions

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Affine-model hydrodynamics shows three-wave NS tidal couplings are fixed by linear Love numbers, yet omit ~1.7 rad of GW phase per star by merger; four-wave terms cannot lock f-modes.

  2. Quadratic gravity corrections to scalar QNMs of rapidly rotating black holes

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Leading-order deviations from general relativity in scalar quasinormal modes of rotating black holes are computed numerically up to dimensionless spins of 0.99 in quadratic-curvature scalar-tensor theories.

  3. Rapidly Rotating Neutron Star Collapse in Massive Scalar-Tensor Theories

    gr-qc 2026-05 conditional novelty 6.0

    Numerical simulations of collapsing scalarized neutron stars show scalar radiation energy of order 10^{-3} solar masses, orders of magnitude above the tensor quadrupolar emission, potentially observable to test modifi...

  4. Universal Relations with Dynamical Tides

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    New quasi-universal relations connect static tidal deformability Λ⁰ to its dynamical correction Λ² and to Mω* with equation-of-state scatter below 5% and 2.8% respectively across 59 models.

  5. Inferring neutron-star Love-Q relations from gravitational waves in the hierarchical Bayesian framework

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hierarchical Bayesian inference on 20 high-SNR simulated binary neutron star events shows a linear lnΛ-lnQ relation suffices and constrains dynamical Chern-Simons gravity length scale to ≤10 km.

  6. Massive scalar fields in eccentric regime: Detectability and constraints from LISA observations of extreme mass-ratio inspirals

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Computes scalar and tensor fluxes for eccentric EMRIs with massive scalars, quantifies dephasing, and shows via Fisher matrix that LISA can constrain scalar charge and mass.
