Equation of state dependence on priors

Investigated the impact of NS properties assumption and EoS framework on the inferred EoS. We find huge impact on the inferred EoS from both these sources! [1].

Kilonova modelling and ejecta estimation

Kilonova emission generated using SuperNu, interpolated using Gaussian Process and used to infer the GW170817/AT2017gfo ejecta parameters [2], [3].
