Description
Astrophysical observations, such as neutron star mass–radius measurements inferred from Shapiro delay and X-ray observation of NICER, provide stringent constraints on the electrically neutral equation of state of strongly interacting matter relevant for compact stars. Incorporating heavy-ion collision data, in particular collective flow measurements from the STAR experiment, into the Bayesian framework remains challenging because such collisions involve symmetric nuclear matter. In this talk, we discuss the aforementioned challenges, outline our strategy for achieving a unified Bayesian analysis across these complementary regimes and present the significance of heavy-ion data in constraining the neutron star properties.
