Despite their long history and astrophysical importance, some of the key properties of
neutron stars are still uncertain. The extreme conditions encountered in their interiors …

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 …

Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

Gravitational waves emitted from the coalescence of neutron star binaries open a new
window to probe matter and fundamental physics in unexplored, extreme regimes. To extract …

The speed of sound of the matter within neutron stars may contain nonsmooth structure
related to first-or higher-order phase transitions. Here we investigate what are the …

We perform a Bayesian analysis of the maximum mass M TOV of neutron stars with a quark
core, incorporating the observational data from tidal deformability of the GW170817 binary …

The appearance of strangeness in the form of hyperons within the inner core of neutron stars
is expected to affect its detectable properties, such as its global structure or gravitational …

By numerically inverting the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov (TOV) equation using an explicitly
isospin-dependent parametric Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nucleonic …

Because of the development of many-body theories of nuclear matter, the long-standing,
open problem of the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter may be understood in the near …

Observations of optical and near-infrared counterparts of binary neutron star mergers not
only enrich our knowledge about the abundance of heavy elements in the universe and help …
