Our knowledge about neutron star (NS) masses is renewed once again due to the recognition of the heaviest NS PSR J$ 0952-0607 $. By taking advantage of both mass observations of super massive neutron stars and the tidal deformability…

If a phase transition is allowed to take place in the core of a compact star, a new stable branch of equilibrium configurations can appear, providing solutions with the same mass as the purely hadronic branch and hence giving rise to…
Twin stars-two stable neutron stars (NSs) with the same mass but different radii have long been proposed to appear as a consequence of a possible first-order phase transition in NS matter. Within a meta-model for the EOS of hybrid stars, we…

GW170817 has provided valuable constraints on the equations of state of merging binary neutron stars, which can be considered as the most probable candidate for the source of gravitational waves. On the other hand, these natural…
The secondary component of GW190814 with a mass of 2.50-2.67 $M_{\odot}$ may be the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever observed in a binary compact object system. To explore the possible equation of state (EOS), which can…

The low density nuclear matter equation of state is strongly constrained by nuclear properties, however, for constraining the high density equation of state it is necessary to resort to indirect information obtained from the observation of…
