Recent rapid progress in multimessenger observations of neutron stars (NSs) offers great potential to constrain the properties of strongly interacting matter under the most extreme conditions. In order to fully exploit the current observational inputs and to study the impact of future observations, we analyze a large ensemble of randomly generated model-independent equations of state (EoSs) and the corresponding rotating stellar structures without the use of quasi-universal relations. We discuss the compatibility and impact of various hypotheses and measurements on the EoS, including those involving the merger product in GW170817, the binary merger components in GW190814, and radius measurements of PSR J0740+6620. We obtain an upper limit for the dimensionless spin of a rigidly rotating NS, |chi| < 0.81, an upper limit for the compactness of a NS, GM/(Rc^2) < 0.33, and find that the conservative hypothesis that the remnant in GW170817 ultimately collapsed to a black hole strongly constrains the EoS and the maximal mass of NSs, implying M_TOV < 2.53M_sol (or M_TOV < 2.19M_sol if we assume that a hypermassive NS was created). Furthermore, we find that the recent NICER results for the radius of the massive PSR J0740+6620 offer strong constraints for the EoS, and that the indicated radius values for a two-solar mass NS greater than about 11 km are completely compatible with the presence of quark matter in massive NSs.

We briefly review the general insight into the indirect searches of dark matter. We discuss the primary equation in a three-level multimessenger approach (gamma rays, neutrinos and antiprotons), and we introduce the reader to the main topics and rela ted uncertainties (e.g. dark matter density distribution, cosmic rays, particle physics). As an application of the general concept, we focus on the multi-TeV dark matter candidate among other weak interactive massive particles. We present the state-of-the-art on this sub-field, and we discuss open questions and experimental limitations.
textit{Superradiance} can trigger the formation of an ultra-light boson cloud around a spinning black hole. Once formed, the boson cloud is expected to emit a nearly periodic, long-duration, gravitational-wave signal. For boson masses in the range $( 10^{-13}-10^{-11})$ eV, and stellar mass black holes, such signals are potentially detectable by gravitational wave detectors, like Advanced LIGO and Virgo. In this {it Letter} we present full band upper limits for a generic all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in LIGO O2 data, and use them to derive - for the first time - direct constraints on the ultra-light scalar boson field mass.
We investigate correlated gravitational wave and neutrino signals from rotating core-collapse supernovae with simulations. Using an improved mode identification procedure based on mode function matching, we show that a linear quadrupolar mode of the core produces a dual imprint on gravitational waves and neutrinos in the early post-bounce phase of the supernova. The angular harmonics of the neutrino emission are consistent with the mode energy around the neutrinospheres, which points to a mechanism for the imprint on neutrinos. Thus, neutrinos carry information about the mode amplitude in the outer region of the core, whereas gravitational waves probe deeper in. We also find that the best-fit mode function has a frequency bounded above by $sim 420$ Hz, and yet the modes frequency in our simulations is $sim 15%$ higher, due to the use of Newtonian hydrodynamics and a widely used pseudo-Newtonian gravity approximation. This overestimation is particularly important for the analysis of gravitational wave detectability and asteroseismology, pointing to limitations of pseudo-Newtonian approaches for these purposes, possibly even resulting in excitation of incorrect modes. In addition, mode frequency matching (as opposed to mode function matching) could be resulting in mode misidentification in recent work. Lastly, we evaluate the prospects of a multimessenger detection of the mode using current technology. The detection of the imprint on neutrinos is most challenging, with a maximum detection distance of $sim!1$ kpc using the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The maximum distance for detecting the complementary gravitational wave imprint is $sim!5$ kpc using Advanced LIGO at design sensitivity.
The detection of the high-energy ($sim290$ TeV) neutrino coincident with the flaring blazar TXS 0506+056, the first and only $3sigma$ neutrino-source association to date, provides new, multimessenger tests of the weak equivalence principle (WEP) and Lorentz invariance. Assuming that the flight time difference between the TeV neutrino and gamma-ray photons from the blazar flare is mainly caused by the gravitational potential of the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies, we show that the deviation from the WEP for neutrinos and photons is conservatively constrained to have an accuracy of $10^{-6}-10^{-7}$, which is 3--4 orders of magnitude better than previous results placed by MeV neutrinos from supernova 1987A. In addition, we demonstrate that the association of the TeV neutrino with the blazar flare sets limits on the energy scales of quantum gravity for both linear and quadratic violations of Lorentz invariance (LIV) to $E_{rm QG, 1}>3.2times10^{15}-3.7times10^{16}$ GeV and $E_{rm QG, 2}>4.0times10^{10}-1.4times10^{11}$ GeV. These improve previous limits on both linear and quadratic LIV energy scales in neutrino propagation by 5--7 orders of magnitude.
We report the results of a study aimed at inferring direct information on the repulsive three-nucleon potential $V^R_{ijk}$textemdash driving the stiffness of the nuclear matter equation of state at supranuclear densitiestextemdash from astrophysical observations. Using a Bayesian approach, we exploit the measurements of masses, radii and tidal deformabalities performed by the NICER satellite and the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, as well as the mass of the heaviest observed pulsar, to constrain the strength of $V^R_{ijk}$. The baseline of our analysis is the widely employed nuclear Hamiltonian comprising the Argonne $v_{18}$ nucleon-nucleon potential andthe Urbana IX model of three-nucleon potential. The numerical results, largely determined by the bound on the maximum mass, suggest that existing and future facilities have the potential to provide valuable new insight into microscopic nuclear dynamics at supranuclear densities.
