How Neutron Star Radii Encode the Dense-Matter Equation of State and Hadron-Quark Transition
Bao-An Li, Xavier Grundler
We investigate how future high-precision neutron star (NS) radius measurements encode microscopic information about the dense-matter equation of state (EOS), focusing on a possible…
Bayesian Inference of fine-features of dense matter EOS from future high-precision data of neutron star radii
Bao-An Li, Xavier Grundler, Wen-Jie Xie +1
Future high-precision X-ray and gravitational wave observatories are expected to measure the radii of neutron stars (NSs) with an accuracy better than about 0.1 km. However, it rem…
Quantifying the Information Gain from Future High-Precision Radius Measurements for Identifying Twin Neutron Stars
Bao-An Li, Xavier Grundler
Twin neutron stars (NSs), characterized by identical gravitational masses but different radii, are among the most promising astrophysical signatures of a strong first-order hadron-…
Bayesian Constraints on the Neutron Star Equation of State with a Smooth Hadron-Quark Crossover
Xavier Grundler, Bao-An Li
We perform a Bayesian inference of the dense-matter equation of state (EOS) within a unified framework that incorporates hadronic matter, quark matter, and a smooth hadron-to-quark…
Bayesian Inference of Hybrid Star Properties from Future High-Precision Measurements of Their Radii
Bao-An Li, Xavier Grundler, Wen-Jie Xie +1
Future high-precision X-ray and gravitational-wave observations of neutron stars (NSs) are expected to constrain NS radii with uncertainties as small as ~km. Such unp…
Bayesian Quantification of Observability and Equation of State of Twin Stars
Xavier Grundler, Bao-An Li
The possibility of discovering twin stars, two neutron stars (NSs) with the same mass but different radii, is usually studied in forward modelings by using a restricted number of N…
