The new method could guide the next generation of gravitational wave observatory studies.
in the known universe as they typically condense masses several times that of our Sun into a size smaller than the Earth.
Though we know a good amount about their characteristics, such as the fact they are the collapsed cores of massive supergiant stars, scientists are yet to pin down precisely what the exotic space objects are made of.
The f2 of a neutron star is measured via strong bursts of gravitational wave emissions emitted when two neutron stars collide. Scientists first measured such emissions in 2017. "At least in principle, the peak spectral frequency can be calculated from the gravitational wave signal emitted by the wobbling remnant of two merged neutron stars," explained Elias Most, one of the scientists behind the new paper.
It was previously thought that f2 could serve as a good proxy for radius since researchers believed a direct correspondence existed between the two. Now, the new paper's two authors have revealed that this is not always the case. The press stated, "they have shown that determining the EoS is not like solving a simple hypotenuse problem.

New Tool Uses Gravitational Waves to Peer Inside Neutron StarsImagine taking a star with twice the mass of the Sun and crushing it down to the size of Manhattan. The result would be a neutron star—one of the densest objects found anywhere in the Universe. In fact, they exceed the density of any material found naturally on Earth by a factor of tens of trillions
