Isospin Equilibration in Neutron Star Mergers
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Ziyuan Zhang
We analyze the isospin equilibration properties of neutrinoless nuclear () matter in the temperature and density range that is relevant to neutron star mergers. Our analysis i…
Tabulated Equations of State From Models Informed by Chiral Effective Field Theory
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +1
We construct four equation of state (EoS) tables, tabulated over a range of temperatures, densities, and charge fractions, relevant for neutron star applications such as simulation…
Nuclear and Hybrid Equations of State in Light of the Low-Mass Compact Star in HESS J1731-347
Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber
We sample over relativistic mean-field theories constrained by chiral effective field theory and properties of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter and test them against known st…
Long Range Plan: Dense matter theory for heavy-ion collisions and neutron stars
Alessandro Lovato, Travis Dore, Robert D. Pisarski +61
Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear matter at l…
Relativistic mean-field theories for neutron-star physics based on chiral effective field theory
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +1
We describe and implement a procedure for determining the couplings of a Relativistic Mean-Field Theory (RMFT) that is optimized for application to neutron star phenomenology. In t…
Beta equilibrium under neutron star merger conditions
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Steven P. Harris +1
We calculate the nonzero-temperature correction to the beta equilibrium condition in nuclear matter under neutron star merger conditions, in the temperature range MeV$ < T \le…
Strangeness-changing Rates and Hyperonic Bulk Viscosity in Neutron Star Mergers
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber
In this paper we present a computation of the rates of strangeness-changing processes and the resultant bulk viscosity in matter at the densities and temperatures typical of neutro…
Baryon onset in a magnetic field
Alexander Haber, Florian Preis, Andreas Schmitt
The critical baryon chemical potential for the onset of nuclear matter is a function of the vacuum mass and the binding energy. Both quantities are affected by an external magnetic…
Magnetic catalysis in nuclear matter
Alexander Haber, Florian Preis, Andreas Schmitt
A strong magnetic field enhances the chiral condensate at low temperatures. This so-called magnetic catalysis thus seeks to increase the vacuum mass of nucleons. We employ two rela…
