The NICER collaboration recently published a joint estimate of the mass and the radius of PSR J0030+0451, derived via X-ray pulse-profile modeling. Raaijmakers et al. (2019) explored the implications of this measurement for the dense matter equation of state (EOS) using two parameterizations of the high-density EOS: a piecewise-polytropic model, and a model based on the speed of sound in neutron stars. In this work we obtain further constraints on the EOS following this approach, but we also include information about the tidal deformability of neutron stars from the gravitational wave signal of the compact binary merger GW170817. We compare the constraints on the EOS to those set by the recent measurement of a 2.14 solar mass pulsar, included as a likelihood function approximated by a Gaussian, and find a small increase in information gain. To show the flexibility of our method, we also explore the possibility that GW170817 was a neutron star-black hole merger, which yields weaker constraints on the EOS.

Black hole-neutron star binaries with high spins and large mass asymmetries: III. Properties of the ejected material and its electromagnetic signatures
High-spin, high-mass-ratio black hole–neutron star mergers eject 0.02–0.06 solar masses of neutron-rich (Y_e≈0.05) debris whose kilonovae are infrared-bright, optically dark, and match late-time AT2017gfo while stayin...

Hadronic lensing
In a pion condensate, photons behave as massive particles and gravitational lensing gains a hadronic correction; the paper derives the modified ray equations and the deflection formula for a pionic-vortex black hole.

PSR J0952-0607: Probing the Stiffest Equations of State and r-Mode Suppression Mechanisms
Using the 709.2 Hz spin of PSR J0952-0607 in Bayesian equation-of-state inference shifts its inferred non-rotating mass to 2.10+0.25-0.24 Msun and makes r-mode stability depend on crust rigidity.

Cosmic Calipers: Precise and Accurate Neutron Star Radius Measurements with Next-Generation Gravitational Wave Detectors
Future gravitational wave detectors should measure most neutron star radii to within about 5%, while current detectors give biased and imprecise estimates.

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.
