Rapid and robust simulation-based inference for kilonovae
Stephanie M. Brown, Mattia Bulla, Hiranya V. Peiris +6
With the next generation of both electromagnetic and gravitational wave observatories beginning to come online, rapid analysis methods for kilonova data are becoming increasingly i…
Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Peter T. H. Pang, Stephanie M. Brown, Thibeau Wouters +1
Pressure isotropy, i.e., equality between radial and tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, mechanisms such as pion/kaon condensation, magnetic…
Can Neutron Star Tidal Effects Obscure Deviations from General Relativity?
Stephanie M. Brown, Badri Krishnan, Rahul Somasundaram +1
One of the main goals of gravitational-wave astrophysics is to study gravity in the strong-field regime and constrain deviations from general relativity (GR). Any such deviation af…
Tidal Deformability of Neutron Stars in Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity
Stephanie M. Brown
Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences are valuable for testing theories of gravity in the strong field regime. By measuring neutron star tidal deformability using gr…
Tests of Gravitational-Wave Birefringence with the Open Gravitational-Wave Catalog
Yi-Fan Wang, Stephanie M. Brown, Lijing Shao +1
We report the results of testing gravitational-wave birefringence using the largest population of gravitational-wave events currently available. Gravitational-wave birefringence, w…
Using gravitational waves to distinguish between neutron stars and black holes in compact binary mergers
Stephanie M. Brown, Collin D. Capano, Badri Krishnan
In August 2017, the first detection of a binary neutron star merger, GW170817, made it possible to study neutron stars in compact binary systems using gravitational waves. Despite…
Stringent constraints on neutron-star radii from multimessenger observations and nuclear theory
Collin D. Capano, Ingo Tews, Stephanie M. Brown +6
The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain. These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star's size. We obtain stri…
