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.

Bayesian inferences on covariant density functionals from multimessenger astrophysical data: The impacts of likelihood functions of low density matter constraints
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.

Bayesian constraints on covariant density functional equations of state of compact stars with new NICER mass-radius measurements
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.
