Measuring the surface thickness of the weak charge density of nuclei
Brendan Reed, Z. Jaffe, C. J. Horowitz +1
The present PREX-II and CREX experiments are measuring the rms radius of the weak charge density of Pb and Ca. We discuss the feasibility of a new parity violating e…
Efficient Mass Estimate at the Core of Strong Lensing Galaxy Clusters Using the Einstein Radius
J. D. Remolina González, K. Sharon, B. Reed +7
In the era of large surveys, yielding thousands of galaxy clusters, efficient mass proxies at all scales are necessary in order to fully utilize clusters as cosmological probes. At…
Total Energy in Supernova Neutrinos and the Tidal Deformability and Binding Energy of Neutron Stars
Brendan Reed, C. J. Horowitz
The energy radiated in supernova neutrinos is a fundamental quantity that is closely related to the gravitational binding energy of a neutron star. Recently the tidal deformability…
GW190814: Impact of a 2.6 solar mass neutron star on nucleonic equations of state
F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz +1
Is the secondary component of GW190814 the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered in a double compact-object system [R. Abbott et al., ApJ Lett., 896, L44…
Insights into nuclear saturation density from parity violating electron scattering
C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz, Brendan Reed
The saturation density of nuclear matter is a fundamental nuclear physics property that is difficult to predict from fundamental principles. The saturation density is closely…
Large Sound Speed in Dense Matter and the Deformability of Neutron Stars
Brendan Reed, C. J. Horowitz
The historic first detection of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration has set a limit on the gravitational deformability of neutron stars. In cont…
