Implications of latest NICER data for the neutron star equation of state
Len Brandes, Wolfram Weise
As an update to our previously performed Bayesian inference analyses of the neutron star matter equation-of-state and related quantities, the additional impact of the recently publ…
Neural Simulation-Based Inference of the Neutron Star Equation of State directly from Telescope Spectra
Len Brandes, Chirag Modi, Aishik Ghosh +6
Neutron stars provide a unique opportunity to study strongly interacting matter under extreme density conditions. The intricacies of matter inside neutron stars and their equation…
Constraints on Phase Transitions in Neutron Star Matter
Len Brandes, Wolfram Weise
Recent inference results of the sound velocity in the cores of neutron stars are summarized. Implications for the equation of state and the phase structure of highly compressed bar…
Fluctuations and phases in baryonic matter
Len Brandes, Norbert Kaiser, Wolfram Weise
The phase structure of baryonic matter is investigated with focus on the role of fluctuations beyond the mean-field approximation. The prototype test case studied is the chiral nuc…
