abstract

Gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star coalescences constrain the neutron-star equation of state by enabling measurement of the tidal deformation of each neutron star. This deformation is determined by the tidal deformability parameter $\Lambda$, which was constrained using the first binary neutron star gravitational-wave observation, GW170817. Now, with the measurement of the second binary neutron star, GW190425, we can combine different gravitational-wave measurements to obtain tighter constraints on the neutron-star equation of state. In this paper, we combine data from GW170817 and GW190425 to place constraints on the neutron-star equation of state. To facilitate this calculation, we derive interpolated marginalized likelihoods for each event using a machine learning algorithm. These likelihoods, which we make publicly available, allow for results from multiple gravitational-wave signals to be easily combined. Using these new data products, we find that the radius of a fiducial 1.4 $M_\odot$ neutron star is constrained to $11.6^{+1.6}_{-0.9}$ km at 90% confidence and the pressure at twice the nuclear saturation density is constrained to $3.1^{+3.1}_{-1.3}\times10^{34}$ dyne/cm$^2$ at 90% confidence. This result is dominated by GW170817 and is consistent with findings from other works.

    nucl-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a uniform instead of Gaussian likelihood for low-density nuclear constraints leaves neutron star radii and masses nearly unchanged, but shifts the inferred nuclear incompressibility.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Bayesian fits that include the 2024 NICER results for PSR J0437 and J1231 narrow the allowed radius range for canonical-mass neutron stars to roughly 12.5 to 12.8 km in covariant density functional models.
