Description
The accurate modeling of rotating neutron stars and their observational signatures is fundamental to exploring the nuclear equation of state at high densities. However, modeling rapidly rotating neutron stars, especially their dynamical properties, becomes increasingly involved with rotation rate. This talk presents a set of novel universal relations that are valid even with high rotation rates. We then demonstrate how one can utilize them in a Bayesian analysis to constrain parametrized equations of state from mock data of hypothetical, high-precision measurements of masses, radii, rotation rate, and f-mode frequencies. By analyzing different sets of such mock data, our method also allows one to quantify systematic biases due to neglecting the modeling of rotational effects.
