Imprints of the nuclear symmetry energy slope in gravitational wave signals emanating from neutron stars

Abstract

We investigate possible traces of the nuclear symmetry energy slope ($L$) in the gravitational wave emission of neutron stars. For fixed stellar mass values, we examine how the slope influences the stellar radius, compactness, the tidal deformability, the frequency of the quadrupole fundamental fluid mode, and the damping time of the mode due to the gravitational wave emission. We demonstrate that all these physical quantities are sensitive to the slope and could potentially impose significant constraints on it.
