Abstract

In this work we study the parameters of the extended σ\sigma-ω\omega model for neutron star matter by a Bayesian analysis on state-of-the-art multi-messenger astronomy observations, namely mass, radius and tidal deformabilities. We have considered three parameters of the model, the Landau mass mLm_L, the nuclear compressibility K0K_0, and the value of the symmetry energy S0S_0, all at saturation density n0n_0. As a result, we are able to estimate the values of the Landau mass of f mL=739±17m_L = 739\pm17 MeV, whereas the values of K0K_0 and S0S_0 fall within already known empirical values. Furthermore, for neutron stars we find the most probable value of 13 km <R1.4<<R_{1.4}< 13.5 km and the upper mass limit of Mmax2.2M_{max} \approx 2.2 M_{\odot}.
