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…
Quark formation and phenomenology in binary neutron-star mergers using V-QCD
Samuel Tootle, Christian Ecker, Konrad Topolski +3
Using full 3+1 dimensional general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of equal- and unequal-mass neutron-star binaries with properties that are consistent with those inferred fr…
On the Sound Speed in Neutron Stars
Sinan Altiparmak, Christian Ecker, Luciano Rezzolla
Determining the sound speed in compact stars is an important open question with numerous implications on the behaviour of matter at large densities and hence on gravitational…
