GW170817 constraints analyzed with Gogny forces and momentum-dependent interactions

A set of equations of state obtained from finite-range Gogny forces and momentum-dependent interactions is used to investigate the recent observation of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 event. For this set of interactions, we have calculated the neutron star tidal deformabilities (related to the second Love number), the mass-radius diagram, and the moment of inertia~($I$). The $I$-Love relation has been verified. We also have found strong correlations among the tidal deformability of the canonical neutron star, its radius, and the derivatives of the nuclear symmetry energy at the saturation density. Most of the obtained results are located within the constraints of the tidal deformabilities extracted from the GW170817 detection.
