Abstract (from CDS):
Very recently the NICER collaboration published the first-ever accurate measurement of mass and radius together for PSR J0030+0451, a nearby isolated quickly rotating neutron star (NS). In this work we set the joint constraints on the equation of state (EoS) and some bulk properties of NSs with the data of PSR J0030+0451, GW170817, and some nuclear experiments. The piecewise polytropic expansion method and the spectral decomposition method have been adopted to parameterize the EoS. The resulting constraints are consistent with each other. Assuming the maximal gravitational mass of nonrotating NS MTOV lies between 2.04M☉ and 2.4M☉, with the piecewise method the pressure at twice nuclear saturation density is measured to be 3.19–1.35+2.63×1034dyncm–2 at the 90% level. For an NS with canonical mass of 1.4M☉, we have the moment of inertia I1.4=1.43–0.13+0.30×1038kg⋅m2, tidal deformability Λ1.4=370–130+360, radius R1.4=12.1–0.8+1.2km, and binding energy BE1.4=0.16–0.02+0.01M☉ at the 90% level, which are improved in comparison to the constraints with the sole data of GW170817. These conclusions are drawn for the mass/radius measurements of PSR J0030+0451 by Riley et al. For the measurements of Miller et al., the results are rather similar.
