A New Bayesian Framework with Natural Priors to Constrain the Neutron Star Equation of State
Boyang Sun, Tianqi Zhao, James M. Lattimer
We propose a new Bayesian framework to infer the neutron star equation of state (EOS) from mass and radius observations and neutron matter theory by defining priors that directly p…

Correlations between the Neutron Star Mass-Radius Relation and the Equation of State of Dense Matter
Boyang Sun, James M. Lattimer
We develop an analytic method of inverting the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) relations to high accuracy. In principle, a specified $\mathcal{E}\mbox{-}P$ relation gives a unique…
