(Received July 1, 2016; Revised September 27, 2016; Accepted October 19, 2017)

Submitted to ApJL ABSTRACT We introduce a new, powerful method to constrain properties of neutron stars (NSs). We show that the total mass

  • f GW170817 provides a reliable constraint on the stellar radius if the merger did not result in a prompt collapse as

suggested by the interpretation of associated electromagnetic emission. The radius R1.6 of nonrotating NSs with a mass

  • f 1.6 M can be constrained to be larger than 10.68+0.15

0.04 km, and the radius Rmax of the nonrotating maximum mass

configuration must be larger than 9.60+0.14

0.03 km. We point out that detections of future events will further improve

these constraints. Moreover, we show that a future event with a signature of a prompt collapse of the merger remnant will establish even stronger constraints on the NS radius from above and the maximum mass Mmax of NSs from above. These constraints are particularly robust because they only require a measurement of the chirp mass and a distinction between prompt and delayed collapse of the merger remnant, which may be inferred from the electromagnetic signal or even from the presence/absence of a ringdown gravitational-wave (GW) signal. This prospect strengthens the case of

  • ur novel method of constraining NS properties, which is directly applicable to future GW events with accompanying

electromagnetic counterpart observations. We emphasize that this procedure is a new way of constraining NS radii from GW detections independent of existing efforts to infer radius information from the late inspiral phase or postmerger

  • scillations, and it does not require particularly loud GW events.

Conclusions

  • The symmetry energy strongly determines the NS radius.
  • USEC conjecture has been corroborated and Es related

quantities found to be correlated with the NS radius.

  • There are future possible ways to measure those quantities

in the laboratory: NICO

  • GW170817 favours softer EoS and together with the Durca

constraint DD2F-like EoS are favoured.

  • Future GW observations, NICER and SKA will soon result

into stronger NS EoS constraints.
