Was GW170817 a Canonical Neutron Star Merger? Bayesian Analysis with a Third Family of Compact Stars
We investigate the possibility that GW170817 was not the merger of two conventional neutron stars (NS), but involved at least one if not two hybrid stars with a quark matter core that might even belong to a third family of compact stars. To this end, we develop a Bayesian analysis method for selecti...
