Light scalars in neutron star mergers
P. S. Bhupal Dev, Jean-François Fortin, Steven P. Harris +2
Due to their unique set of multimessenger signals, neutron star mergers have emerged as a novel environment for studies of new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). As a case stu…
Beta equilibrium under neutron star merger conditions
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Steven P. Harris +1
We calculate the nonzero-temperature correction to the beta equilibrium condition in nuclear matter under neutron star merger conditions, in the temperature range MeV$ < T \le…
Projecting the likely importance of weak-interaction-driven bulk viscosity in neutron star mergers
Elias R. Most, Steven P. Harris, Christopher Plumberg +6
In this work, we estimate how much bulk viscosity driven by Urca processes is likely to affect the gravitational wave signal of a neutron star coalescence. In the late inspiral, we…
Axions: From Magnetars and Neutron Star Mergers to Beam Dumps and BECs
Jean-François Fortin, Huai-Ke Guo, Steven P. Harris +3
We review topics in searches for axion-like-particles (ALPs), covering material that is complementary to other recent reviews. The first half of our review covers ALPs in the extre…
Magnetars and Axion-like Particles: Probes with the Hard X-ray Spectrum
Jean-François Fortin, Huai-Ke Guo, Steven P. Harris +2
Quiescent hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray emission from neutron stars constitute a promising frontier to explore axion-like-particles (ALPs). ALP production in the core peaks at ener…
