abstract

The CompactObject package is an open-source software framework developed to constrain the neutron star equation of state (EOS) through Bayesian statistical inference. It integrates astrophysical observational constraints from X-ray timing, gravitational wave events, and radio measurements, as well as nuclear experimental constraints derived from perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (pQCD) and Chiral Effective Field Theory ($\chi$EFT). The package supports a diverse range of EOS models, including meta-model like and several physics-motivated EOS models. It comprises three independent components: an EOS generator module that currently provides seven EOS choices, a Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation solver, that allows the determination of the Mass Radius and Tidal deformability as observables, and a comprehensive Bayesian inference workflow module, including a complete pipeline for implementing EOS Bayesian inference. Each component can be used independently in different scientific research contexts, such as nuclear physics and astrophysics. In addition, CompactObject is designed to work in synergy with existing software such as CompOSE, allowing the use of the CompOSE EOS database to extend the EOS options available.

  1. Neutron stars can shine a light on elusive lepton-flavor-violating dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Flavor blocking keeps lepton-flavor-violating dark matter from thermalizing inside neutron stars, so p-wave annihilation stays efficient and heats the star to observable temperatures.

  2. Dark Matter Heating of Compact Stars Beyond Capture: A Relativistic Framework for Energy Deposition by Particle Beams

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new relativistic formalism computes capture and energy deposition of directed particle beams in compact stars, applied to blazar-boosted dark matter heating of white dwarfs and neutron stars.

  3. The equation of state for neutron stars with speed of sound constraints via Bayesian inference

    nucl-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A Taylor-expanded nuclear EOS is fit to NICER radii, crust-core transition constraints, and the causality condition, giving Q_sat = -69.5^{+16.5}_{-31.9} MeV and L_sym = 34.3^{+13.7}_{-11.9} MeV.

  4. Model-Independent Determination of the Tidal Deformability of a 1.4 $M_{\odot}$ Neutron Star from Gravitational-Wave Measurements

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Interpolating GW170817 mass and tidal deformability posteriors yields an equation of state agnostic tidal deformability for a 1.4 solar mass neutron star, Lambda_1.4 = 222.89 (+420.33, -98.85).
