Pulsars are among the most mysterious astrophysical objects in the Universeand are believed to be rotating neutron stars formed in supernova explosions.They are unique testing grounds of dense matter theories and gravitationalphysics and also provide links among nuclear physics, particle physics andGeneral Relativity. Neutron stars may exhibit some of the most extreme andexotic characteristics that could not be found elsewhere in the Universe. Theirproperties are largely determined by the equation of state (EOS) ofneutron-rich matter, which is the chief ingredient in calculating neutron starstructure and properties of related phenomena, such as gravitational waveemission from deformed pulsars. Presently, the EOS of neutron-rich matter isstill very uncertain mainly due to the poorly known density dependence of thenuclear symmetry energy especially at supra-saturation densities. Nevertheless,significant progress has been made recently in constraining the densitydependence of the nuclear symmetry energy mostly at sub-saturation densitiesusing terrestrial nuclear reactions. While there are still some uncertaintiesespecially at supra-saturation densities, these constraints could provideuseful information on the limits of the global properties of pulsars and thegravitational waves to be expected from them. Here we review our recent work onconstraining properties of pulsars and gravitational radiation with data fromterrestrial nuclear laboratories.
