Bulk viscosity from Urca processes: matter in the neutrino-transparent regime
Mark Alford, Arus Harutyunyan, Armen Sedrakian
We study the bulk viscosity of moderately hot and dense, neutrino-transparent relativistic matter arising from weak-interaction direct Urca processes. This work parallels ou…
Isospin Equilibration in Neutron Star Mergers
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Ziyuan Zhang
We analyze the isospin equilibration properties of neutrinoless nuclear () matter in the temperature and density range that is relevant to neutron star mergers. Our analysis i…
Tabulated Equations of State From Models Informed by Chiral Effective Field Theory
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +1
We construct four equation of state (EoS) tables, tabulated over a range of temperatures, densities, and charge fractions, relevant for neutron star applications such as simulation…
Theoretical and Experimental Constraints for the Equation of State of Dense and Hot Matter
Rajesh Kumar, Veronica Dexheimer, Johannes Jahan +57
This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results…
Relativistic hybrid stars with sequential first-order phase transitions in light of multimessenger constraints
Jia Jie Li, Armen Sedrakian, Mark Alford
In this work, we consider the properties of compact stars in which quark matter has low- and high-density phases that are separated by a first-order phase transition. Thus, unlike…
Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
