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 …

Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic
compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other …

The discovery of the first pulsar in a binary star system, the Hulse–Taylor pulsar, 50 years
ago opened up an entirely new field of experimental gravity. For the first time it was possible …

A stochastic background of gravitational waves could be created by the superposition of a
large number of independent sources. The physical processes occurring at the earliest …

During the past two decades, chiral effective field theory has evolved into a powerful tool to
derive nuclear forces from first principles. Nearly all two-nucleon interactions have been …

Cyclotron lines, also called cyclotron resonant scattering features are spectral features,
generally appearing in absorption, in the X-ray spectra of objects containing highly …

The attempt to understand the physics of the structure of stars and their change in time–their
evolution–has been bothering many physicists and astronomers ever since the last century …

Glitches, spin-up events in neutron stars, are of prime interest, as they reveal properties of
nuclear matter at subnuclear densities. We numerically investigate the glitch mechanism …

Gold has suggested that pulsars are rotating magnetic neutron stars which formed in
supernova explo-sions. We have investigated the simplest such model, one in which the …
