The dimensionless tidal deformability of a 1.4 M neutron star Λ1.4 (left axis) and its corresponding radius R1.4 (right axis) as a function of the slope of the symmetry energy L for DD–PC EOSs. The dipole polarizability of 208Pb is also shown on the top axis for reference. The vertical shaded regions represent the L values obtained from dipole polarizability for the CNSP-4 and CNSP-10 sets of nuclei, while the horizontal shaded regions denote the corresponding constraints for the Λ1.4(or R1.4), respectively. Vertical arrows indicate neutron star radii from C. D. Capano et al. (2020), T. Dietrich et al. (2020), and Λ1.4 from the GW170817 event (B. P. Abbott et al. 2019). Horizontal arrows mark nuclei with the largest and smallest deviations of L value.
