In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

We review the current status and recent progress of microscopic many-body approaches
and phenomenological models, which are employed to construct the equation of state of …

We explore in a parameterized manner a very large range of physically plausible equations
of state (EOSs) for compact stars for matter that is either purely hadronic or that exhibits a …

The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be
accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been …

Over the last decade, new developments in Similarity Renormalization Group techniques
and nuclear many-body methods have dramatically increased the capabilities of ab initio …

Microscopic calculations of neutron matter based on nuclear interactions derived from chiral
effective field theory, combined with the recent observation of a 1.97±0.04 M☉ neutron star …

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 …

The dominant decay mode of atomic nuclei is beta decay (β-decay), a process that changes
a neutron into a proton (and vice versa). This decay offers a window to physics beyond the …

We optimize Δ-full nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory. The low-energy
constants of the contact potentials are constrained by two-body scattering phase shifts, and …

The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …
