A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

We review the physics of hyperons and Δ-resonances in dense matter in compact stars. The
covariant density functional approach to the equation of state and composition of dense …

This exhaustive survey is the result of a four year effort by many leading researchers in the
field to produce both a readable introduction and a yardstick for the many upcoming …

Nuclear matter and finite nuclei exhibit the property of superfluidity by forming Cooper pairs.
We review the microscopic theories and methods that are being employed to understand the …

In strong magnetic fields the transport coefficients of strange quark matter become
anisotropic. We determine the general form of the complete set of transport coefficients in the …

The recent measurement of a 1.97±0.04 solar-mass pulsar places a stringent lower bound
on the maximum mass of compact stars and therefore challenges the existence of any …

Dark matter particles will be captured in neutron stars if they undergo scattering interactions
with nucleons or leptons. These collisions transfer the dark matter kinetic energy to the star …

Cooling simulations of neutron stars and their comparison with the data from thermally
emitting x-ray sources put constraints on the properties of axions, and by extension, of any …

Inhomogeneous superconductors and inhomogeneous superfluids appear in a variety of
contexts including quark matter at extreme densities, fermionic systems of cold atoms, type-II …

In this paper, we explore whether or not quark deconfinement may occur in high-mass
neutron stars such as J1614− 2230 (1.97±0.04 M⊙) and J0348+ 0432 (2.01±0.04 M⊙). Our …
