What is/are the gravitational wave observable/s that makes possible to measure the parameter/s of the equation of state of neutron stars?

Here are some of them:
- Tidal deformability $\Lambda$ $\rightarrow$ information about low density behavior of EoS
- Radius R $\rightarrow$ (through Bayesian analysis) show correlation with the slope parameter $L$ of nuclear matter
- Mass M $\rightarrow$ implies a mass that has to be reached by the M-R curves which can be evaluated via TOV equations and use the EoS $\rightarrow$ constrain the used EoSs
- Cooling behavior of neutron stars $\rightarrow$ inner composition
- Moment of Inertia (if measurable)
- Radial Oscillations, etc.
- some more
(only 1,2,3,5,6 can be derived from GW data and not always as there is some degeneracy left usually)
