Constraints on the NS EOS assuming GW190814 was produced by a BBH (blue) or an NSBH (orange) coalescence. The 90% and 50% credible contours of the posterior in the pressure-density plane are shown. The constraints are calculated by assuming a spectral decomposition for the EOS, following Abbott et al. (2018). The BBH constraints are identical to those from the analysis of GW170817, while for the NSBH case the posterior is reweighted by the probability that each EOS’s maximum mass is at least m2. The dashed lines indicate the 90% credible region of the prior.
