A considerable effort has been dedicated recently to the construction of generic equations of state (EOSs) for matter in neutron stars. The advantage of these approaches is that they can provide model-independent information on the interior structure and global properties of neutron stars. Making use of more than $10^6$ generic EOSs, we asses the validity of quasi-universal relations of neutron star properties for a broad range of rotation rates, from slow-rotation up to the mass-shedding limit. In this way, we are able to determine with unprecedented accuracy the quasi-universal maximum-mass ratio between rotating and nonrotating stars and reveal the existence of a new relation for the surface oblateness, i.e., the ratio between the polar and equatorial proper radii. We discuss the impact that our findings have on the imminent detection of new binary neutron-star mergers and how they can be used to set new and more stringent limits on the maximum mass of nonrotating neutron stars, as well as to improve the modelling of the X-ray emission from the surface of rotating stars.

  1. Systematic study of the morphology and length of slow stable hybrid star branches

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Systematic numerical survey classifies four types of slow stable hybrid star branches and shows slow conversion opens new viable parameter space for stiff hadronic models.

  2. Systematic study of the morphology and length of slow stable hybrid star branches

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 conditional novelty 6.0

    Slow hadron-quark conversion in hybrid neutron stars creates extended stable 'waterfall' branches, reviving stiff hadronic equations of state that rapid-conversion analyses reject.

  3. Combining simulation-based inference and universal relations for precise and accurate neutron star science

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    A machine-learning simulator trained on 1,491 simulated equations of state discovers a neutron-star radius relation R(M,f,p1), predicting radii to tens of meters with calibrated error bars.

  4. Are NICER and GW170817 constraints suggesting a compactified scenario for Neutron stars?

    astro-ph.HE 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0

    Bayesian analysis of NICER+GW170817 data over three agnostic EoS ensembles suggests observations favor a soft-to-stiff EoS shape resembling the maximum-compactness sequence, not the maximum-mass sequence.

  5. Probing Neutron Star Interiors and the Properties of Cold Ultra-dense Matter with the SKAO

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5

    SKAO's sensitivity, surveys and sub-arraying will deliver tighter NS mass, MoI, spin, glitch and precession constraints that, with X-ray and GW data, probe cold ultra-dense matter.
