abstract

Upcoming observing campaigns with improved detectors will yield numerous detections of gravitational waves from neutron star binary inspirals. Rare loud signals together with numerous signals of moderate strength promise stringent constraints on the properties of neutron star matter, with a projected radius statistical uncertainty of $50-200$m with ${\cal{O}}(2000)$ sources. Given this precision we revisit all analysis assumptions and identify sources of systematic errors, quantify their impact on radius extraction, and discuss their relative importance and ways to mitigate them.

  1. X-ray pulsed light curves of highly compact neutron stars as probes of scalar-tensor theories of gravity

    astro-ph.HE 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For neutron stars near the critical compactness, scalar-tensor gravity can change computed X-ray pulse fluxes by up to 80% and inferred radii by about 10%.

  2. Quantifying the Information Gain from Future High-Precision Radius Measurements for Identifying Twin Neutron Stars

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper claims a radius precision of ~0.2 km is enough to extract most Bayesian information for identifying twin neutron stars, but its own distinguishability and entropy analyses suggest notable gains remain down t...

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Feedforward and residual neural networks predict neutron star observables from piecewise polytropic EOS parameters with R^2>0.999 and a ~200x speedup over direct TOV integration.
