abstract

Using Stergioulas's RNS code for investigating fast pulsars with Equation of States (EOSs) on the causality surface (where the speed of sound equals that of light) of the high-density EOS parameter space satisfying all known constraints from both nuclear physics and astrophysics, we show that one possible explanation for the GW190814's secondary component of mass $(2.50-2.67)$ M$_{\odot}$ is that it is a super-fast pulsar spinning faster than 971 Hz about 42\% below its Kepler frequency. If confirmed, it would be the fastest pulsar with the highest mass observed presently. There is a large and physically allowed EOS parameter space below the causality surface where pulsars heavier than 2.50 M$_{\odot}$ are supported if they can rotate even faster with critical frequencies depending strongly on the high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy.

    Simulated low-mass-gap boson star binaries are severely mis-measured when analyzed with black hole waveform models, but a model including both spin-induced quadrupole and tidal effects recovers the correct masses.
