We discuss the constraints on the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter obtained by the data analysis of the neutron star-neutron star merger in the event GW170807. To this scope, we consider two recent microscopic EOS models computed starting from two-body and three-body nuclear interactions derived using chiral perturbation theory. For comparison, we also use three representative phenomenological EOS models derived within the relativistic mean field approach. For each model, we determine the β -stable EOS and then the corresponding neutron star structure by solving the equations of hydrostatic equilibrium in general relativity. In addition, we calculate the tidal deformability parameters for the two neutron stars and discuss the results of our calculations in connection with the constraints obtained from the gravitational wave signal in GW170817. We find that the tidal deformabilities and radii for the binary’s component neutron stars in GW170817, calculated using a recent microscopic EOS model proposed by the present authors, are in very good agreement with those derived by gravitational waves data.

Various methods to study the ground state of neutron star matter are compared and the corresponding neutron star models are contrasted with each other. In the low density region ρ < 1014gr cm-3 the nuclear gas is treated here by means of a Thomas Fermi method and the nuclei are described by the droplet model of Myers and Swiatecki. For ρ > 1014 gr cm-3 both standard Brueckner theory with more realistic interaction (one-boson-exchange) potentials and the semiphenomenological theory of Fermi liquids (together with the standard Reid softcore potential) are applied to neutron star matter. It is shown that while the high mass limit of neutron stars is hardly affected, some properties of lowmass neutron stars such as their binding depend sensitively on these refinements. Various tentative (but unreliable) extensions of the equation of state into high density regime ρ > 1015 gr cm-3 are investigated and it is shown that the mass limit for heavy neutron stars lies around 2.5 solar masses. It is further shown that a third family of stable (hyperon) stars is not forbidden by general relativistic arguments if there is a phase transition at high densities.

The EOS of strongly interacting matter at densities ten to fifteen orders of magnitude larger than the typical density of terrestrial macroscopic objects determines a number of neutron star properties, including the pattern of gravitational waves emitted following the excitation of nonradial oscillation modes. This paper reviews some of the approaches employed to model neutron star matter, as well as the prospects for obtaining new insights from the experimental study of gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars.

AbstractIn this work we study the parameters of the extended σ-ω model for neutron star matter by a Bayesian analysis of state-of-the-art multi-messenger astronomy observations, namely mass, radius and tidal deformabilities. We have considered three parameters of the model, the Landau mass mL, the nuclear compressibility K0, and the value of the symmetry energy S0, all at saturation density n0. As a result, we are able to estimate the best values of the Landau mass of mL ≈ 0.73 GeV, whereas the values of K0 and S0 fall within already known empirical values. Furthermore, for neutron stars we find the most probable value of 13 km < R1.4 < 13.5 km and the upper mass limit of Mmax ≈ 2.2 M⊙.

The effects of the presence of weakly interacting light boson (WILB) in neutron star matter have been revisited. Direct checking based on the experimental range of symmetric nuclear matter binding energy1 and the fact that the presence of this boson should give no observed effect on the crust properties of neutron star matter, shows that the characteristic scale of WILB [Formula: see text] should be ≤2 GeV-2. The recent observational data with significant low neutron stars radii2 and the recent largest pulsar which has been precisely measured, i.e. J1903+0327 (Ref. 3) indicate that in-medium modification of WILB mass in neutron stars cannot be neglected.
