On the maximum mass and oblateness of rotating neutron stars with generic equations of state
Carlo Musolino, Christian Ecker, Luciano Rezzolla
A considerable effort has been dedicated recently to the construction of generic equations of state (EOSs) for matter in neutron stars. The advantage of these approaches is that th…
A dynamical inflaton coupled to strongly interacting matter
Christian Ecker, Elias Kiritsis, Wilke van der Schee
According to the inflationary theory of cosmology, most elementary particles in the current universe were created during a period of reheating after inflation. In this work we self…
Exploring the Phase Diagram of V-QCD with Neutron Star Merger Simulations
Tuna Demircik, Christian Ecker, Matti Järvinen +3
Determining the phase structure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and its Equation of State (EOS) at densities and temperatures realized inside neutron stars and their mergers is a l…
Bayesian analysis of neutron-star properties with parameterized equations of state: the role of the likelihood functions
Jin-Liang Jiang, Christian Ecker, Luciano Rezzolla
We have investigated the systematic differences introduced when performing a Bayesian-inference analysis of the equation of state of neutron stars employing either variable- or con…
Impact of large-mass constraints on the properties of neutron stars
Christian Ecker, Luciano Rezzolla
The maximum mass of a nonrotating neutron star, , plays a very important role in deciphering the structure and composition of neutron stars and in revealing the equati…
A general, scale-independent description of the sound speed in neutron stars
Christian Ecker, Luciano Rezzolla
Using more than a million randomly generated equations of state that satisfy theoretical and observational constraints we construct a novel, scale-independent description of the so…
