Inference of the neutron star equation of state from cosmological distances
ORAL
Abstract
Finite-size effects on the gravitational wave signal from a neutron star merger typically manifest at high frequencies where detector sensitivity decreases. Proposed sensitivity improvements can give us access both to stronger signals and to a myriad of weak signals from cosmological distances. The latter will outnumber the former and the relevant part of signal will be redshifted towards the detector most sensitive band. I will present a study of the redshift dependence of information about neutron star matter and find that single-scale properties, such as the star radius or the post-merger frequency, are better measured from the distant weak sources from $z\sim 1$
