Translating neutron star observations to nuclear symmetry energy via artificial neural networks
arXiv:2112.04089 · doi:10.3390/galaxies10010016
Abstract
One of the most significant challenges involved in efforts to understand the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter is the uncertain density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy. Because of its broad impact, pinning down the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy has been a longstanding goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Recent observations of neutron stars, in both electromagnetic and gravitational-wave spectra, have already constrained significantly the nuclear symmetry energy at high densities. Training deep neural networks to learn a computationally efficient representation of the mapping between astrophysical observables of neutron stars, such as masses, radii, and tidal deformabilities, and the nuclear symmetry energy allows its density dependence to be determined reliably and accurately. In this work we use a deep learning approach to determine the nuclear symmetry energy as a function of density directly from observational neutron star data. We show for the first time that artificial neural networks can precisely reconstruct the nuclear symmetry energy from a set of available neutron star observables, such as, masses and radii as those measured by, e.g., the NICER mission, or masses and tidal deformabilities as measured by the LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors. These results demonstrate the potential of artificial neural networks to reconstruct the symmetry energy, and the equation of state, directly from neutron star observational data, and emphasize the importance of the deep learning approach in the era of Multi-Messenger Astrophysics.
