Nuclear Symmetry Energy for Dense Hadronic Matter in the Era of Advanced Gravitational Wave Detectors

Recent developments of gravitational wave detectors like LIGO and Virgo provide us an optimistic opportunity of expecting first few events in near future. One of the exciting possibilities is that we can probe the inner structure of compact objects like neutron star by analyzing the observed pattern of gravitational waves. Among the characteristic features of the equation of state (EoS), the symmetry energy of dense hadronic matter is discussed. A model which implements a new scaling law of physical parameters of hadronic matter is briefly sketched to demonstrate how it affects the equation of state and the outcome for the mass and radius estimation is discussed for an n-p asymmetric configuration.
