Dense Nuclear Matter with Baryon Overlap
Jesper Leong, Theo F. Motta, Anthony W. Thomas +1
The possibility of new short-distance physics applicable inside the cores of NS is incorporated into the equation of state generated by the quark-meson coupling model. The contribu…
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…
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…
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…
Neutron to Dark Matter Decay in Neutron Stars
T. F. Motta, P. A. M. Guichon, A. W. Thomas
Recent proposals have suggested that a previously unknown decay mode of the neutron into a dark matter particle could solve the long lasting measurement problem of the neutron deca…
Implications of Neutron Star Properties for the Existence of Light Dark Matter
T. F. Motta, P. A. M. Guichon, A. W. Thomas
It was recently suggested that the discrepancy between two methods of measuring the lifetime of the neutron may be a result of an unseen decay mode into a dark matter particle whic…
