Mapping neutron star data to the equation of state using the deep neural network

Abstract

The densest state of matter in the universe is uniquely realized inside central cores of the neutron star. While first-principles evaluation of the equation of state of such matter remains as one of the longstanding problems in nuclear theory, evaluation in light of neutron star phenomenology is feasible. Here we show results from a novel theoretical technique to utilize deep neural network with supervised learning. We input up-to-date observational data from neutron star X-ray radiations into the trained neural network and estimate a relation between the pressure and the mass density. Our results are consistent with extrapolation from the conventional nuclear models and the experimental bound on the tidal deformability inferred from gravitational wave observation.
