Constraints on the speed of sound of dense nuclear matter through the tidal deformability of neutron stars

One of the greatest interest and open problems in nuclear physics is the upper limit of the speed of sound in dense nuclear matter. Neutron stars, both in isolated and binary system cases, constitute a very promising natural laboratory for studying this kind of problem. This present work is based on...
