Reconstruction of fast-rotating neutron star observables with the neural network

Rotation can significantly affect neutron-star (NS) properties, but accurate modeling of rapidly rotating NSs requires solving a two-dimensional, axially symmetric system, making traditional calculations too expensive for inference analyses that demand a large amount of model evaluations. We develop a causal convolutional neural networks that preserve the chronological-like dependence of NS properties on the equation of state (EoS) and rapidly reconstruct observables for static, Keplerian, and rotating configurations. Using \texttt{RNS}, we generate a dataset of NS observables and use it to train our networks. We validate our networks with three representative EoS (SFHo, SLy4, and DD2) and find that the they accurately reproduce the \texttt{RNS} results. The trained networks evaluate NS configurations for a single EoS in $\sim 50$ms, providing a substantial speedup over typical \texttt{RNS} runtimes of $\sim 30$ min and enabling efficient inference analyses involving rapidly rotating NSs.
