Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Peter T. H. Pang, Stephanie M. Brown, Thibeau Wouters +1
Pressure isotropy, i.e., equality between radial and tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, mechanisms such as pion/kaon condensation, magnetic…

Can Neutron Star Tidal Effects Obscure Deviations from General Relativity?
Stephanie M. Brown, Badri Krishnan, Rahul Somasundaram +1
One of the main goals of gravitational-wave astrophysics is to study gravity in the strong-field regime and constrain deviations from general relativity (GR). Any such deviation af…

Stringent constraints on neutron-star radii from multimessenger observations and nuclear theory
Collin D. Capano, Ingo Tews, Stephanie M. Brown +6
The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain. These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star's size. We obtain stri…
