Abstract The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a transformative experiment
for gravitational wave astronomy, and, as such, it will offer unique opportunities to address …

The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

To constrain the equation of state of cold dense matter, astrophysical measurements are
essential. These are mostly based on observations of neutron stars in the X-ray band, and …

Neutron-star cores contain matter at the highest densities in our Universe. This highly
compressed matter may undergo a phase transition where nuclear matter melts into …

Laboratory experiments sensitive to the equation of state of neutron rich matter in the vicinity
of nuclear saturation density provide the first rung in a “density ladder” that connects …

Determining the sound speed cs in compact stars is an important open question with
numerous implications on the behavior of matter at large densities and hence on …

WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark
matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole …

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 …

Neutron stars provide a window into the properties of dense nuclear matter. Several recent
observational and theoretical developments provide powerful constraints on their structure …

Observations of neutron-star mergers with distinct messengers, including gravitational
waves and electromagnetic signals, can be used to study the behavior of matter denser than …
