Advances in machine learning methods provide tools that have broad applicability in
scientific research. These techniques are being applied across the diversity of nuclear …

Neutron stars provide a window into the properties of dense nuclear matter. Several recent
observational and theoretical developments provide powerful constraints on their structure …

PSR J0740+ 6620 has a gravitational mass of 2.08±0.07 M⊙, which is the highest reliably
determined mass of any neutron star. As a result, a measurement of its radius will provide …

In recent years our understanding of the dense matter equation of state (EOS) of neutron
stars has significantly improved by analyzing multimessenger data from radio/X-ray pulsars …

The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

Observations of neutron-star mergers with distinct messengers, including gravitational
waves and electromagnetic signals, can be used to study the behavior of matter denser than …

Determining the sound speed cs in compact stars is an important open question with
numerous implications on the behavior of matter at large densities and hence on …

Neutron-star cores contain matter at the highest densities in our Universe. This highly
compressed matter may undergo a phase transition where nuclear matter melts into …

We demonstrate in a general and analytic way how high-density information about the
equation of state (EOS) of strongly interacting matter obtained using perturbative quantum …

Recent rapid progress in neutron-star (NS) observations offers great potential to constrain
the properties of strongly interacting matter under the most extreme conditions. In order to …
