The Masses of Isolated Neutron Stars Inferred from the Gravitational Redshift Measurements

The Astrophysical Journal (2020)

Shao-Peng Tang Jin-Liang Jiang Wei-Hong Gao Yi-Zhong Fan Da-Ming Wei

Abstract For some neutron stars (NSs) in the binary systems, the masses have been accurately measured. While for the isolated neutron stars (INSs), no mass measurement has been reported yet. The situation will change soon thanks to the successful performance of the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer ( NICER ), with which the radius and mass of the isolated PSR J0030+0451 can be simultaneously measured. For most INSs, no mass measurements are possible for NICER because of observational limitations. Benefiting from recent significant progress made on constraining the equation of state of NSs, in this work we propose a way to estimate the masses of the INSs with the measured gravitational redshifts. We apply our method to RX J1856.5-3754, RX J0720.4-3125, and RBS 1223, three members of “The Magnificent Seven” (M7), and estimate their masses to be , , and , respectively. These masses are consistent with that of binary NS systems, suggesting no evidence for experiencing significant accretion of these isolated objects.

The Bulk Properties of Isolated Neutron Stars Inferred from the Gravitational Redshift Measurements

The Astrophysical Journal (2022)

C. N. Luo Shao-Peng Tang Jin-Liang Jiang Wei-Hong Gao Da-Ming Wei

Abstract The measurements of the bulk properties of most isolated neutron stars (INSs) are challenging tasks. Tang et al. have developed a new method, based on the equation of state (EoS) of neutron star (NS) material constrained by the observational data, to infer the gravitational masses of a few INSs whose gravitational redshifts are available. However, in that work, the authors only considered the constraints on the EoS from nuclear experiments/theories and the gravitational wave data of GW170817; the possible phase transition has not been taken into account. In this work, we adopt three EoS models (including the one incorporates a first-order strong phase transition) that are constrained by the latest multimessenger NS data, including in particular the recent mass–radius measurements of two NSs by Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer, to update the estimation of the gravitational masses of RBS 1223, RX J0720.4-3125, and RX J1856.5-3754. In comparison to our previous approach, the new constraints are tighter, and the gravitational masses are larger by about 0.1 M ⊙ . All the inferred gravitational masses are within the range of the NS masses measured in other ways. We have also calculated the radius, tidal-deformability, and moment of inertia of these sources. The inclusion of the first-order strong phase transition has little influence on modifying the results.

Constrains on the electric charges of the binary black holes with GWTC-1 events

The European Physical Journal C (2021)

Hai-Tian Wang Peng-Cheng Li Jin-Liang Jiang Guan-Wen Yuan Yi-Ming Hu

Testing black hole's charged property is a fascinating topic in modified gravity and black hole astrophysics. In the first Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-1), ten binary black hole merger events have been formally reported, and these gravitational wave signals have significantly enhanced our understanding of the black hole. In this paper, we try to constrain the amount of electric charge with the parameterized post-Einsteinian framework by treating the electric charge as a small perturbation in a Bayesian way. We find that the current limits in our work are consistent with the result of Fisher information matrix method in previous works. We also develop a waveform model considering a leading order charge effect for binary black hole inspiral.

Solar neutrino measurements using the full data period of Super-Kamiokande-IV

Physical review. D/Physical review. D. (2024)

K. Abe C. Bronner Y. Hayato K. Hiraide K. Hosokawa

An analysis of solar neutrino data from the fourth phase of Super-Kamiokande (SK-IV) from October 2008 to May 2018 is performed and the results are presented. The observation time of the dataset of SK-IV corresponds to 2970 days and the total live time for all four phases is 5805 days. For more precise solar neutrino measurements, several improvements are applied in this analysis: lowering the data acquisition threshold in May 2015, further reduction of the spallation background using neutron clustering events, precise energy reconstruction considering the time variation of the PMT gain. The observed number of solar neutrino events in 3.49–19.49 MeV electron kinetic energy region during SK-IV is 65,443−388+390(stat.)±925(syst.) events. Corresponding B8 solar neutrino flux is (2.314±0.014(stat.)±0.040(syst.))×106 cm−2 s−1, assuming a pure electron-neutrino flavor component without neutrino oscillations. The flux combined with all SK phases up to SK-IV is (2.336±0.011(stat.)±0.043(syst.))×106 cm−2 s−1. Based on the neutrino oscillation analysis from all solar experiments, including the SK 5805 days dataset, the best-fit neutrino oscillation parameters are sin2θ12,solar=0.306±0.013 and Δm21,solar2=(6.10−0.81+0.95)×10−5 eV2, with a deviation of about 1.5σ from the Δm212 parameter obtained by KamLAND. The best-fit neutrino oscillation parameters obtained from all solar experiments and KamLAND are sin2θ12,global=0.307±0.012 and Δm21,global2=(7.50−0.18+0.19)×10−5 eV2.

Possible Signature of First-Order Phase Transition in the Multi-messenger Data of Neutron Stars

arXiv (Cornell University) (2020)

Shao-Peng Tang Jin-Liang Jiang Wei-Hong Gao Yi-Zhong Fan Da-Ming Wei

The equation of state (EoS) of the neutron star (NS) matter remains an enigma. In this work we perform the Bayesian parameter inference with the gravitational wave data (GW170817) and mass-radius observations of some NSs (PSR J0030+0451, PSR J0437-4715, and 4U 1702-429) using the phenomenologically constructed EoS models to search potential first-order phase transition. The whole data set, together with some additional/general conditions and the widely-adopted assumption that $M_{\rm TOV}$ lies between 2.04 and 2.3 solar mass, yield a signature of first-order phase transition at the density of $\sim2.7\rho_{\rm sat}$ with a density jump of $\sim 1.1\rho_{\rm sat}$, where $\rho_{\rm sat}$ is the nuclear saturation density. These parameters are in agreement with the current constraints and can be further tested with the new gravitational wave data as well as the upcoming {\it NICER} measurements of NSs in the near future.

Bulk properties of PSR J0030+0451 inferred with the compactness measurement of NICER

arXiv (Cornell University) (2024)

C. N. Luo Shao-Peng Tang Ming-Zhe Han Jin-Liang Jiang Wei-Hong Gao

In 2019, Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) mission released its findings on the mass and radius of the isolated neutron star (INS) PSR J0030+0451, revealing a mass of approximately 1.4 solar masses ($M_{\odot}$) and a radius near 13 kilometers. However, the recent re-analysis by the NICER collaboration \citep{vinciguerra2024updated} suggests that the available data primarily yields a precise inference of the compactness for this source while the resulting mass and radius are strongly model-dependent and diverse (the 68.3\% confidence counters just overlap slightly for the ST+PDT and PDT-U models). By integrating this compactness data with the equation of state (EoS) refined by our latest investigations, we have deduced the mass and radius for PSR J0030+0451, delivering estimates of $M=1.48^{+0.09}_{-0.10}~M_\odot$ and $R=12.39_{-0.70}^{+0.50}~{\rm km}$ for the compactness found in ST+PDT model, alongside $M=1.47^{+0.14}_{-0.20}~M_\odot$ and $R=12.37_{-0.70}^{+0.50}~{\rm km}$ for the compactness in PDT-U model. These two groups of results are well consistent with each other and the direct X-ray data inference within the ST+PDT model seems to be favored. Additionally, we have calculated the tidal deformability, moment of inertia, and gravitational binding energy for this NS. Furthermore, employing these refined EoS models, we have updated mass-radius estimates for three INSs with established gravitational redshifts.

Is GW190425 Consistent with Being a Neutron Star–Black Hole Merger?

The Astrophysical Journal Letters (2020)

Ming-Zhe Han Shao-Peng Tang Yi-Ming Hu Yin-Jie Li Jin-Liang Jiang

Abstract GW190425 is the second neutron star merger event detected by the Advanced LIGO/Virgo detectors. If interpreted as a double neutron star merger, the total gravitational mass is substantially larger than that of the binary systems identified in the Galaxy. In this work we analyze the gravitational-wave data within the neutron star–black hole merger scenario. For the black hole, we yield a mass of and an aligned spin of . As for the neutron star we find a mass of and the dimensionless tidal deformability of . These parameter ranges are for 90% credibility. The inferred masses of the neutron star and the black hole are not in tension with current observations and we suggest that GW190425 is a viable candidate of a neutron star–black hole merger event. Benefitting from the continual enhancement of the sensitivities of the advanced gravitational detectors and the increase of the number of the observatories, similar events are anticipated to be much more precisely measured in the future and the presence of black holes below the so-called mass gap will be unambiguously clarified. If confirmed, the mergers of neutron stars with (quickly rotating) low-mass black holes are likely important production sites of the heaviest r -process elements.

Constraints on phase transition and nuclear symmetry parameters with PSR J0740+6620 and multimessenger data of other neutron stars

arXiv (Cornell University) (2021)

Shao-Peng Tang Jin-Liang Jiang Ming-Zhe Han Yi-Zhong Fan Da-Ming Wei

Recently, the radius of neutron star (NS) PSR J0740+6620 was measured by NICER and an updated measurement of neutron skin thickness of ${}^{208}$Pb ($R_{\rm skin}^{208}$) was reported by the PREX-II experiment. These new measurements can help us better understand the unknown equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. In this work, we adopt a hybrid parameterization method, which incorporates the nuclear empirical parameterization and some widely used phenomenological parameterizations, to analyze the results of nuclear experiments and astrophysical observations. With the joint Bayesian analysis of GW170817, PSR J0030+0451, and PSR J0740+6620, the parameters that characterize the ultra dense matter EoS are constrained. We find that the slope parameter $L$ is approximately constrained to $70_{-18}^{+21}$ MeV, which predicts $R_{\rm skin}^{208}=0.204^{+0.030}_{-0.026}\,{\rm fm}$ by using the universal relation between $R_{\rm skin}^{208}$ and $L$. And the bulk properties of canonical $1.4\,M_\odot$ NS (e.g., $R_{1.4}$ and $\Lambda_{1.4}$) as well as the pressure ($P_{2\rho_{\rm sat}}$) at two times the nuclear saturation density are well constrained by the data, i.e., $R_{1.4}$, $\Lambda_{1.4}$, and $P_{2\rho_{\rm sat}}$ are approximately constrained to $12.3\pm0.7$ km, $330_{-100}^{+140}$, and $4.1_{-1.2}^{+1.5}\times10^{34}\,{\rm dyn\,cm^{-2}}$, respectively. Besides, we find that the Bayes evidences of the hybrid star and normal NS assumptions are comparable, which indicates that current observation data are compatible with quarkyonic matter existing in the core of massive star. Finally, in the case of normal NS assumption, we obtain a constraint for the maximum mass of nonrotating NS $M_{\rm TOV}=2.30^{+0.30}_{-0.18}$ $M_\odot$. All of the uncertainties reported above are for 68.3% credible levels.
