Probing the equation of state of neutron star matter with gravitational waves from binary inspirals in light of GW170817: a brief review
arXiv:1912.01461 · doi:10.1088/1361-6471/ab45be
Abstract
Neutron stars are unique testbeds for exploring the physics of strongly interacting matter in extreme regimes of density, temperature, and isospin that are not accessible anywhere else in the universe. The nature of neutron star matter can now be probed with gravitational-waves (GWs) from binary driven by nonlinear gravity, where phenomena such as tidal effects lead to characteristic matter-dependent GW signatures. We focus here on the dominant tidal GW imprints that were most relevant for the event GW170817. We review the role of the tidal deformability parameter, its definition, computation, and relation to the equation of state. We briefly discuss the implications of GW170817, representing the first-ever constraints on tidal deformability from GW data. Finally, we outline opportunities and challenges for probing subatomic physics with GWs, as the measurements will become more precise and will probe a diversity of the binary neutron star population in the coming years.
