Demonstrating the Feasibility of Probing the Neutron-Star Equation of State with Second-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors

Fisher matrix and related studies have suggested that, with second-generation gravitational-wave detectors, it may be possible to infer the equation of state of neutron stars using tidal effects in a binary inspiral. Here, we present the first fully Bayesian investigation of this problem. We simulat...
