abstract

With ongoing advancements in nuclear theory and experimentation, together with a growing body of neutron star (NS) observations, a wealth of information on the equation of state (EOS) for matter at extreme densities has become accessible. Here, we utilize a hybrid EOS formulation that combines an empirical parameterization centered around the nuclear saturation density with a generic three-segment piecewise polytrope model at higher densities. We incorporate data derived from chiral effective field theory ($\chi$EFT), perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD), and from experiments such as PREX-II and CREX. Furthermore, we examine the influence of a total of 129 NS mass measurements up to April 2023, as well as simultaneous mass and radius measurements derived from the X-ray emission from surface hot spots on NSs. Additionally, we consider constraints on tidal properties inferred from the gravitational waves emitted by coalescing NS binaries. To integrate this extensive and varied array of constraints, we utilize a hierarchical Bayesian statistical framework to simultaneously deduce the EOS and the distribution of NS masses. We find that incorporating data from $\chi$EFT significantly tightens the constraints on the EOS of NSs near or below the nuclear saturation density. However, constraints derived from pQCD computations and nuclear experiments such as PREX-II and CREX have minimal impact.

    With ET (and ET+CE), mock multi-messenger BNS catalogues yield ~40–500 EM counterparts per year and, under ideal recovery, constrain R1.4 to ~0.2 km and H0 to ~1 km s−1 Mpc−1.

  2. Systematics from NICER Pulse Profiles Drive Uncertainty in Multi-Messenger Inference of the Neutron Star Equation of State

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A joint Bayesian analysis of NICER, gravitational wave, radio, and nuclear data shows that NICER pulse profile modeling choices dominate equation of state uncertainties and prefer the ST+PDT model over the PDT-U model...

  3. Paleodetectors for neutrino signals from diverse Galactic stellar collapses

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Paleodetectors can reach burst-like Galactic core-collapse activity of several tens of supernovae at 10 pc, with sensitivity enhanced by high-mass NS and failed-SN neutrino emission that depends on the nuclear EOS.

    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.
