Abstract
We have obtained the Love number and corresponding tidal deformabilites () associated with the relativistic mean-field parametrizations shown to be consistent (CRMF) with the nuclear matter, pure neutron matter, symmetry energy and its derivatives [Dutra, et al., Phys. Rev. C 90, 055203 (2014)]. Our results show that CRMF models present very good agreement with the recent data from binary neutron star merger event GW170817. They also confirm the strong correlation between and the radius of canonical stars (). When a recently GW170817 constraint on and the corresponding radius is used, the majority of the models tested are shown to satisfy it.
