this is something that simply can't be measured directly in labs or colliders on Earth. Astronomy is the only direct way to measure it. 2/?
How fast the inspiral happens encodes how "squishy" are the neutron stars. This is called the tidal deformability. 3/?
Figure 5 from the PRL has the inference about the tidal deformability, and predictions from various theoretical models: 4/?
has now started to do nuclear physics! #GravitationalWaves #GW170817 5/5
