Scientific paper

The equation of state of the bulk nuclear matter inside a neutron star (NS) is still poorly understood. Thorne has conjectured that we might get useful information about it by measuring the gravitational waveforms emitted by merging NS-NS binaries, or by tidally disrupting NS's in neutron-star-black-hole (NS-BH) binaries.1 We have strong evidence2 that NS-NS merger waves do carry equation-of-state information, but they are emitted at frequencies (~ 1400-2800 Hz), which are too high for measurement by LIGO-type gravity-wave interferometers. We show that the prospects for NS/BH measurements are much brighter.3 ...
