Reconstructing the equation of state for cold nuclear matter from the relationship of any two properties of neutron stars

Abstract

A direct method is developed to reconstruct the equation of state for high-density nuclear matter from the relationship between any two properties of neutron stars, such as masses, radii, moments of inertia, baryonic masses, binding energies, gravitational redshifts, and their combinations.
