What Can We Learn about the Unstable Equation-of-state Branch from Neutron Star Mergers?

The equation of state (EOS) of dense strongly interacting matter can be probed by astrophysical observations of neutron stars (NS), such as X-ray detections of pulsars or the measurement of the tidal deformability of NSs during the inspiral stage of NS mergers. These observations constrain the EOS a...
