Nuclear parameter inference with semi-agnostic priors

The research tested how constraints from radio pulsar timing and gravitational waves help narrow down nuclear parameters using semi-agnostic equation-of-state models. By simulating astrophysical data for different density regimes, the study found that not all nuclear empirical parameters are strongly correlated with pressure, suggesting that simpler semi-agnostic constructions can be more effective at recovering true nuclear properties.
