Description

Weighted Monte Carlo samples associated with Landry, Essick & Chatziioannou, "Nonparametric constraints on neutron star matter with existing and upcoming gravitational wave and pulsar observations," Phys. Rev. D 101, 123007 (2020); doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.101.123007

 

Weighted samples are provided for the maximum Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov mass; the radius, tidal deformability, and moment of inertia of a 1.4 solar mass neutron star; and the pressure in neutron star matter at one, two and six times nuclear density. Posterior distributions for these neutron star observables can be obtained by building a weighted histogram or kernel density estimate of the samples. Median values and 90% highest-probability-density confidence intervals for the observables, marginalized over a distribution of equations of state, are reported in Tb. IV of the accompanying paper. The posterior distributions generated from these samples are plotted in Fig. 10 of that paper.
