Abstract Multimessenger signals from binary read more neutron star (BNS) mergers are promising tools to infer the properties of nuclear matter at densities inaccessible to laboratory experiments.Gravitational waves (GWs) from BNS merger remnants can constrain the neutron-star equation of state (EOS) complementing constraints from late inspiral, direct mass-radius measurements, and ab-initio calculations.We perform a series of general-relativistic simulations of BNS systems with EOSs constructed to comprehensively cover the high-density regime.
We identify a tight correlation between the ratio of the energy and angular-momentum losses in the late-time portion of the post-merger signal, called the long ringdown, and the EOS at the highest pressures and densities in neutron-star cores.Applying this turbo air m3f72-3-n correlation to post-merger GW signals significantly reduces EOS uncertainty at densities several times the nuclear saturation density, where no direct constraints are currently available.Hence, the long ringdown can provide stringent constraints on material properties of neutron stars cores.
