The measurements of the bulk properties of most isolated neutron stars (INSs) are challenging tasks. Tang et al. (2020) have developed a new method, based on the equation of state (EoS) of neutron star (NS) material constrained by the…
The historical first detection of a binary neutron star merger by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration [B. P. Abbott et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 161101 (2017)] is providing fundamental new insights into the astrophysical site for the $r$-process…
The very first detection of gravitational waves from a neutron star binary merger, GW170817, exceeded all expectations. The event was relatively nearby, which may point to a relatively high merger rate. It was possible to extract…
The lowest neutron star masses currently measured are in the range $1.0-1.1~M_\odot$, but these measurement have either large uncertainties or refer to isolated neutron stars. The recent claim of a precisely measured mass $M/M_{\odot} =…

Recent NICER observation data on PSR J0030+0451 has recently added a unique mass-radius constraint on the properties of the superdense nuclear matter existing in the interior of compact stars. Such a macroscopic data restrict further the…
