Constraining the equation of state of neutron stars using multimessenger observations

Bhaskar Biswas

Neutron stars are the densest objects known in our visible universe. Properties of matter inside a neutron star are encoded in its equation of state, which has wide-ranging uncerta…

Simultaneous Inference of Neutron Star Equation of State and the Hubble Constant with a Population of Merging Neutron Stars

Tathagata Ghosh, Bhaskar Biswas, Sukanta Bose

We develop a method for implementing a proposal on utilizing knowledge of neutron star (NS) equation of state (EoS) for inferring the Hubble constant from a population of binary ne…

GW190814: On the properties of the secondary component of the binary

Bhaskar Biswas, Rana Nandi, Prasanta Char +2

We show that the odds of the mass-gap (secondary) object in GW190814 being a neutron star (NS) improve if one allows for a stiff high-density equation of state (EoS) or a large spi…
