Abstract:

LIGO and Virgo have observed half a dozen neutron stars with gravitational waves to date. These observations are revealing information about their uncertain internal structure and composition, and are beginning to provide insight into their astrophysical distribution. I will discuss recent work inferring the properties of ultra-dense matter and characteristics of the neutron star population from binary mergers, as well as opportunities for future discoveries in neutron star science with next-generation gravitational-wave observatories.
