中子星刚度的状态方程不敏感测量

Equation-of-state-insensitive measure of neutron star stiffness

Jayana A. Saes, Raissa F. P. Mendes

摘要:

普遍关系(即,对状态方程不敏感)之间的关系已经被证明对各种应用都是有用的--从提供一种直接的手段来从数据中提取可观测量,到打破阻碍广义相对论测试的简并性。类似地,直接连接中子星宏观和微观性质的状态方程不敏感关系可能为核物质的行为提供一个清晰的窗口。在这项工作中,我们揭示了中子星的某些宏观性质之间的紧密相关性-它的紧凑性$C$,转动惯量$\bar{I}$和潮汐变形$\barΛ$ -和中心压力与中心能量密度的比值$α_c \equiv p_c/ε_c$,这可以被解释为该对象内部的核物质的刚度的平均概念。我们描述了有趣的性能,这种刚度措施,量化的$α_c - C/\bar{I}/\barΛ$关系的(近似)的普遍性,并探讨其后果,面对最近和未来的中子星观测。

英文摘要:

Universal relations (i.e., insensitive to the equation of state) between macroscopic properties of neutron stars have proven useful for a variety of applications -- from providing a direct means to extract observables from data to breaking degeneracies that hinder tests of general relativity. Similarly, equation-of-state-insensitive relations directly connecting macroscopic and microscopic properties of neutron stars can potentially provide a clean window into the behavior of nuclear matter. In this work, we uncover a tight correlation between certain macroscopic properties of a neutron star - its compactness $C$, moment of inertia $\bar{I}$ and tidal deformability $\barΛ$ - and the ratio $α_c \equiv p_c/ε_c$ of central pressure to central energy density, which can be interpreted as a mean notion of the stiffness of nuclear matter inside that object. We describe interesting properties of this stiffness measure, quantify the (approximate) universality of the $α_c - C/\bar{I}/\barΛ$ relations, and explore its consequences in the face of recent and future neutron star observations.
