Dark Matter or Regular Matter in Neutron Stars? How to tell the difference from the coalescence of compact objects
Maurício Hippert, Emily Dillingham, Hung Tan +3
The mirror twin Higgs model is a candidate for (strongly-interacting) complex dark matter, which mirrors SM interactions with heavier quark masses. A consequence of this model are…
The slope, the hill, the drop, and the swoosh: Learning about the nuclear matter equation of state from the binary Love relations
Hung Tan, Veronica Dexheimer, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler +1
Analyses that connect astrophysical observations of neutron stars with nuclear matter properties sometimes rely on equation-of-state insensitive relations. We show that the slope o…
Extreme Matter meets Extreme Gravity: Ultra-heavy neutron stars with crossovers and first-order phase transitions
Hung Tan, Travis Dore, Veronica Dexheimer +2
The speed of sound of the matter within neutron stars may contain non-smooth structure related to first-order phase transitions or or crossovers. Here we investigate what are the o…
Mirror Neutron Stars
Maurício Hippert, Jack Setford, Hung Tan +3
The fundamental nature of dark matter is entirely unknown. A compelling candidate is Twin Higgs mirror matter, invisible hidden-sector cousins of the Standard Model particles and f…
Neutron Star Equation of State in light of GW190814
Hung Tan, Jacquelyn Noronha-Hostler, Nico Yunes
The observation of gravitational waves from an asymmetric binary opens the possibility for heavy neutron stars, but these pose challenges to models of the neutron star equation of…
