Abstract
The successful detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers through the LIGO-VIRGO detectors [AoLV17, AoLV20] has enabled a new avenue into probing and understanding the structure of neutron stars: through the observation of these mergers, we can put constraints on the bulk properties of neutron stars [RMW18, MWRS18, BBV+20], which in turn will allow us to uncover their true equation of state (EoS).
