Description
Observations of the heaviest neutron stars, together with mass and radius
measurements, and gravitational wave signals from binary neutron-neutron star mergers, progressively tighten the constraints on the equation-of-state of dense baryonic matter. Using the presently available data base, results are presented of detailed Bayesian inference analyses. A focus is on premises and limitations for hypothetical phase transitions at the baryon densities realized in neutron star cores. Consequences for the possible structure and composition of matter under such conditions are discussed
