Abstract
The accurate observations of neutron stars have deepened our knowledge of both general relativity and the properties of nuclear physics at large densities. Relating observations to the microphysics that govern these stars can sometimes be aided by approximate universal relations. One such relation connects the ratio of the central pressure to the central energy density and the compactness of the star, and it has been found to be insensitive to realistic models for the equation of state to a ∼10% level.
