Abstract Gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars encode information about nuclear matter at extreme densities, inaccessible by laboratory experiments. The late inspiral is influenced the presence of tides, which depend on star equation state. Neutron mergers are expected to often produce rapidly rotating remnant that emit gravitational waves. These will provide clues extremely hot post-merger environment. This signature in contains most 2–4 kHz frequency band, outside sensitive...
We review the existing distance estimates to black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613 with a discussion of accuracies and caveats associated methodologies. As part this, we present new line-of-sight HI absorption spectra captured using MeerKAT radio telescope. estimate maximum radial velocity respect local standard rest $24.8 \pm 2.8$ km s$^{-1}$, which is significantly lower than that found towards an extragalactic reference source. Given location at Galactic longitude latitude $(l, b)...
