Bayesian evidence for two peaks in the sound speed in cold dense QCD
Dake Zhou
I show that in addition to the well-known peak inside massive neutron stars, the sound speed in cold dense QCD matter likely exhibits another peak above neutron star densities befo…
Bounds on the minimum sound speed above neutron star densities
Dake Zhou
We show that the existence of massive neutron stars and asymptotic freedom of QCD place robust upper bounds on the lowest sound speed of the ultra-dense matter unattainable in neut…
Dwarf (Twin) Neutron Stars I: Did GW170817 Involve One?
Dake Zhou
Dwarf neutron stars are stable twins of neutron stars but with a maximum mass less than that of neutron stars. Their existence brings into concordance the seemingly conflicting inf…
Reexamining constraints on neutron star properties from perturbative QCD
Dake Zhou
The implications of perturbative QCD (pQCD) calculations on neutron stars are carefully examined. While pQCD calculations above baryon chemical potentials GeV demons…
Framework for Multi-messenger Inference from Neutron Stars: Combining Nuclear Theory Priors
Praveer Tiwari, Dake Zhou, Bhaskar Biswas +2
We construct an efficient parameterization of the pure neutron-matter equation of state (EoS) that incorporates the uncertainties from both chiral effective field theory (EFT) a…
Dark Lepton Superfluid in Proto-Neutron Stars
Sanjay Reddy, Dake Zhou
We find that sub-GeV neutrino portal bosons that carry lepton number can condense inside a proto-neutron star (newly born neutron star). These bosons are produced copiously and for…
Constraining the neutron-matter equation of state with gravitational waves
Michael McNeil Forbes, Sukanta Bose, Sanjay Reddy +3
We show how observations of gravitational waves from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers over the next few years can be combined with insights from nuclear physics to obtain useful c…
Dark halos around neutron stars and gravitational waves
Ann Nelson, Sanjay Reddy, Dake Zhou
We find that a class of models of MeV-GeV dark matter in which dark matter interacts strongly can be constrained by the observation of gravitational waves from neutron star mergers…
Neutron stars exclude light dark baryons
David McKeen, Ann E. Nelson, Sanjay Reddy +1
Exotic new particles carrying baryon number and with mass of order the nucleon mass have been proposed for various reasons including baryogenesis, dark matter, mirror worlds, and t…
