Stability and Structural Properties of Hot Quark Stars within Perturbative QCD
Tousif Raza, Tyler Gorda
The hypothesis of strange quark matter (SQM) and the possible existence of strange stars have been extensively investigated within the thermodynamic bag model, typically employing…
As above, so below: assessing extremeness of the neutron-star equation of state based on the unstable branch
Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela +1
Microscopic models of neutron-star matter have been widely used in astrophysical applications. The focus of attention has been on densities up to the maximal densities reached in s…
Equation of state at neutron-star densities and beyond from perturbative QCD
Oleg Komoltsev, Rahul Somasundaram, Tyler Gorda +3
We explore the consequences of imposing robust thermodynamic constraints arising from perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) when inferring the dense-matter equation-of-state (E…
Quark matter and nuclear astrophysics: recent developments
Tyler Gorda
Does deconfined cold quark matter occur in nature? This is currently one of the fundamental open questions in nuclear astrophysics. In these proceedings, I review the current state…
Bounding the QCD Equation of State with the Lattice
Guy D. Moore, Tyler Gorda
The equation of state of QCD matter at high densities is relevant for neutron star structure and for neutron star mergers and has been a focus of recent work. We show how lattice Q…
Ab-initio QCD calculations impact the inference of the neutron-star-matter equation of state
Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela
We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations in QCD at high densities offer significant and nontrivial information about the equation of state of matter in the cores of neutron stars…
From pQCD to neutron stars: matching equations of state to constrain global star properties
Tyler Gorda
The equation of state (EoS) of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at zero temperature can be calculated in two different perturbative regimes: for small values of the baryon chemical pot…
Precision studies of v_n fluctuations
Tyler Gorda, Paul Romatschke
The power spectrum of heavy ion collisions is investigated by studying initial state fluctuations on top of a smooth hydrodynamic flow. In particular, the stability of the location…
