Multi-messenger observations of neutron stars (NSs) and their mergers have placed strong constraints on the dense-matter equation of state (EOS). The EOS, in turn, depends on microscopic nuclear interactions that are described by nuclear…

Background: The equations of state (EoSs) which determine the properties of neutron stars (NSs) are often characterized by the iso-scalar and iso-vector nuclear matter parameters (NMPs). Recent attempts to relate the radius and tidal…
Tidal interaction is a unique, detectable signature in gravitational wave signals from inspiraling binary neutron stars (BNSs), which can be used to constrain the neutron star (NS) equation of state (EoS). The tidal interaction is…
In this work, we investigate the neutron star structure in conservative $f(R, T)$ gravity with $f(R, T)=R+\lambda T$, where $\lambda$ denotes the matter--geometry coupling. The modified stellar structure equations are solved using realistic…
Neutron stars are commonly considered as astronomical objects having highdensity interiors and an inner core region in which various hadronic matter phases are expected. Several studies show that the inner structures affect macroscopic…

Much effort is devoted to measuring the nuclear symmetry energy through neutron star (NS) and nuclear observables. Since matter in the NS core may be non-hadronic, observables like radii and tidal deformability may not provide reliable…
