Description: The study found a scaling relation between neutron star tidal deformability ($\Lambda$) and the central Equation of State (EOS) parameter ($X$). This relation, derived from perturbative analysis, allows direct measurement of $X$ from GW observations. The scaling is largely model-insensitive, meaning it provides a direct probe into the ultradense matter inside neutron stars.
