The properties of terrestrial nuclei and the celestial objects like neutron stars and supernova depend crucially on the equation state of symmetric and asymmetric infinite nuclear matter. Its accurate knowledge is, however, still unknown due to the incomplete understanding of the nuclear force and that fact that the infinite matter is not accessible in the laboratory. Observables associated with these properties are key factors in unraveling the mystery of the nuclear force. The tidal deformability of a binary neutron star as inferred very recently from GW170817 event is one such observable.
In this talk, I will discuss how tidal deformability can be a probe to extract information on nuclear matter equation of state. It can also be a direct probe for measuring neutron star radius. I will also continue how we can take help of a neural network/deep learning to extract information in a smarter way.
