First Constraints on Nuclear Coupling of Axionlike Particles from the Binary Neutron Star Gravitational Wave Event GW170817
Jun Zhang, Zhenwei Lyu, Junwu Huang +4
Light axion fields, if they exist, can be sourced by neutron stars due to their coupling to nuclear matter, and play a role in binary neutron star mergers. We report on a search fo…

Wet Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals May Be More Common For Spaceborne Gravitational Wave Detection
Zhen Pan, Zhenwei Lyu, Huan Yang
Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) can be classified as dry EMRIs and wet EMRIs based on their formation mechanisms. Dry (or the "loss-cone") EMRIs, previously considered as the…

Probing Crust Meltdown in Inspiraling Binary Neutron Stars
Zhen Pan, Zhenwei Lyu, Béatrice Bonga +2
Thanks to recent measurements of tidal deformability and radius, the nuclear equation of state and structure of neutron stars are now better understood. Here, we show that through…
