If only one family of "neutron stars" exists, their maximum mass must be equal or larger than $2 M_\odot$ and then only in less than about $18\%$ of cases the outcome of the merger of two neutron stars is a direct collapse to a black hole,…
The oscillation modes of neutron star (NS) merger remnants, as encoded by the kHz postmerger gravitational wave (GW) signal, hold great potential for constraining the as-yet undetermined equation of state (EOS) of dense nuclear matter.…
