Background: We analyze several constraints on the nuclear equation of state (EOS) currently available from neutron star (NS) observations and laboratory experiments and study the existence of possible correlations among properties of nuclear matter at saturation density with NS observables. Methods: We use a set of different models that include several phenomenological EOSs based on Skyrme and relativistic mean field models as well as microscopic calculations based on different many-body approaches, i.e., the (Dirac–)Brueckner–Hartree–Fock theories, Quantum Monte Carlo techniques, and the variational method. Results: We find that almost all the models considered are compatible with the laboratory constraints of the nuclear matter properties as well as with the largest NS mass observed up to now, 2.14−0.09+0.10M⊙ for the object PSR J0740+6620, and with the upper limit of the maximum mass of about 2.3–2.5M⊙ deduced from the analysis of the GW170817 NS merger event. Conclusion: Our study shows that whereas no correlation exists between the tidal deformability and the value of the nuclear symmetry energy at saturation for any value of the NS mass, very weak correlations seem to exist with the derivative of the nuclear symmetry energy and with the nuclear incompressibility.

Theoretical Predictions

We study the effect of nuclear equation of state on the tidal polarizability of neutron stars. The predicted equations of state for the β-stable nuclear matter are parameterized by varying the slope L of the symmetry energy at saturation density on the interval 65 MeV≤L≤115 MeV. The effects of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy on the neutron star tidal polarizability are presented and analyzed. A comparison of theoretical predictions with the recent observation predictions is also performed and analyzed.

AbstractMerging neutron star (NS) binaries may be detected by ground-based gravitational wave (GW) interferometers (e.g. LIGO/VIRGO) within this decade and may also generate electromagnetic radiation detectable by wide-field, fast imaging telescopes that are coming online. The GWs can provide new constraint on the NS equation of state (including mass-radius relation and the related nuclear symmetry energy). This paper reviews various hydrodynamical and electrodynamical processes in coalescing NS binaries, with focus on the pre-merger phase.

Using the nuclear symmetry energy that has been recently constrained by the isospin diffusion data in intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions, we have studied the transition density and pressure at the inner edge of neutron star crusts, and they are found to be 0.040 fm -3 ≤ ρt ≤ 0.065 fm -3 and 0.01 MeV / fm 3 ≤ Pt ≤ 0.26 MeV / fm 3, respectively, in both the dynamical and thermodynamical approaches. We have also found that the widely used parabolic approximation to the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter gives significantly higher values of core-crust transition density and pressure, especially for stiff symmetry energies. With these newly determined transition density and pressure, we have obtained an improved relation between the mass and radius of neutron stars.
