In particular I will show the connections between these observations and neutron star modelling, as well as the constraints that such signal gives to the nuclear equation of state.
The present status of the nuclear equation of state will be also reviewed. I will show that the collective effort of the nuclear physics community with both important advances on ab-initio calculations and new selective experiments on isovector properties, allows today to predict astrophysical observables from neutron stars and neutron star mergers with reliable error bars. Different strategies to further progress on the quantitative understanding of the gravitational wave signal will be outlined.
