The Role of Baryon Structure in Neutron Stars

Theo F. Motta, Anthony W. Thomas

Understanding the equation of state of dense nuclear matter is a fundamental challenge for nuclear physics. It is especially timely and interesting challenge as we have reached a p…

Temperature dependent appearance of exotic matter makes nascent neutron stars spin faster

Francisco Hernandez-Vivanco, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane +5

Neutron stars offer the opportunity to study the behaviour of matter at densities and temperatures inaccessible to terrestrial experiments. Gravitational-wave observations of binar…

On the Speed of Sound in Hyperonic Stars

T. F. Motta, P. A. M. Guichon, A. W. Thomas

We build upon the remarkable, model independent constraints on the equation of state of dense baryonic matter established recently by Annala et al. [1]. Using the quark-meson coupl…

Do Delta Baryons Play a Role in Neutron Stars?

T. F. Motta, A. W. Thomas, P. A. M. Guichon

The presence of exotic hadrons, such as hyperons and isobars, in the dense nuclear matter in their cores has been shown to produce important changes in the properties of neutro…

Roles of crust and core in the tidal deformability of neutron stars

A. M. Kalaitzis, T. F. Motta, A. W. Thomas

With the recent measurement of GW170817 providing constraints on the tidal deformability of a neutron star, it is very important to understand what features of the equation of stat…

Isovector Effects in Neutron Stars, Radii and the GW170817 Constraint

T. F. Motta, A. M. Kalaitzis, S. Antić +3

An isovector-scalar meson is incorporated self-consistently into the quark-meson coupling description of nuclear matter and its most prominent effects on the structure of neutron s…
