We found quasi-universal relations among the mass, moment of inertia, and tidal deformability of a white dwarf that do not depend sensitively on the white dwarf composition.

We also find evidence that the formula currently used by NICER can be used in the inference of the radii of rapidly rotating stars, outside of the formula's domain of validity.

The tidal measurement of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger event GW170817 allows us to probe nuclear physics that suffers less from astrophysical systematics compared to neutron star radius measurements with electromagnetic wave observations.
