Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories to study dense matter in quantum chromodynamics
(QCD). The observable mass-radius relations of neutron stars are determined by QCD …

In the context of the massive secondary object recently observed in the compact-star merger
GW190814, we investigate the possibility of producing massive neutron stars from a few …

Fast flavor conversions (FFCs) of neutrinos, which can occur in core-collapse supernovae
(CCSNe), are multiangle effects. They depend on the angular distribution of the neutrino's …

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …

We study in detail the nuclear aspects of a neutron-star merger in which deconfinement to
quark matter takes place. For this purpose, we make use of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) …

Fully understanding the average core-collapse supernova requires detecting the diffuse
supernova neutrino background (DSNB) in all flavors. While the DSNB ν¯ e flux is near …

We perform multidimensional core-collapse supernova (CCSN) simulations in a massive
scalar-tensor theory for the first time with a realistic equation of state and multienergy …

We examine which first order phase transitions are consistent with today's astrophysical
constraints. In particular, we explore how a well-constrained mass-radius data point would …

Explaining gravitational-wave (GW) observations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers
requires an understanding of matter beyond nuclear saturation density. Our current …

We delineate the quark-hadron continuity by constructing QCD equations of state for neutron
star dynamics, covering the wide range of charge chemical potential (μ Q) and temperatures …
