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

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 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 historical first detection of a binary neutron star merger by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration
[BP Abbott et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 161101 (2017) PRLTAO 0031-9007 …

We summarize our current knowledge of neutron-star masses and radii. Recent
instrumentation and computational advances have resulted in a rapid increase in the …

Recent developments in the theory of pure neutron matter and experiments concerning the
symmetry energy of nuclear matter, coupled with recent measurements of high-mass …

In this article, I introduce ideas and techniques to extract information about the equation of
state of matter at very high densities from gravitational waves emitted before, during and …

Quantum Monte Carlo methods have proved valuable to study the structure and reactions of
light nuclei and nucleonic matter starting from realistic nuclear interactions and currents …

One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

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 …
