We propose a universal approximation of the equation of state of superdense matter in neutron star (NS) interiors. It contains only two parameters, the pressure and the density at the center of the maximally massive neutron star. We demonstrate the validity of this approximation for a wide range of different types of equations of state, including both baryonic and hybrid models. Combined with recently discovered correlations of internal (density, pressure, and speed of sound at the center) and external (mass, radius) properties of a maximally massive neutron star, this approximation turns out to be an effective tool for determining the equation of state of superdense matter using astrophysical observations.

    Theoretical inputs and the 2 solar mass lower limit dominate neutron star equation of state constraints across most densities, while radius data refines low densities and higher masses affect wider ranges.
