Motti Intermediate Physics — HAL: Nuclear Equation of State, Neutron Star Mass Reinterpretation, and I-Love-Q Relations

Key Points

• The aim is to reinterpret neutron star masses and analyze the implications of I-Love-Q relations using a modified nuclear equation of state.
• Reinterpret neutron star (NS) masses with a correction factor C0 resulting in M_ADM = M_obs/C0.
• Relaxed EOS constraints with respect to alpha_em and mass range.
• Derived new relationships for I-Love-Q parameters.
• Neutron star masses adjusted with a -0.73% correction using mass reinterpretation.
• I^HAL shows a +2.2% increase, while Lambda^HAL increases by +3.7% compared to GR, indicating consistent alterations under new relationships.
• The chi parameter remains unchanged, preserving the I-Love-Q universality.
