Probing Neutron Star Interiors and the Properties of Cold Ultra-dense Matter with the SKAO
Avishek Basu, Vanessa Graber, Marcus E. Lower +19
Matter inside neutron stars is compressed to densities several times greater than nuclear saturation density, while maintaining low temperatures and large asymmetries between neutr…
A unified study of nuclear physics and dark matter constraints through gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star mergers
Nina Kunert, Guilherme Grams, William Newton +5
Understanding the properties of strongly interacting matter at extreme densities is a central problem in fundamental physics, but neutron star mergers provide a natural laboratory…
Color-superconducting quarkyonic matter
Christoph Gärtlein, Oleksii Ivanytskyi, Violetta Sagun +1
We explore the role of color superconductivity in quarkyonic matter under the conditions of color and electric neutrality at - and strong equilibrium, as relevant for neutron s…
ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves
Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40
Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…
Probing neutron star interiors and the properties of cold ultra-dense matter with the SKAO
Avishek Basu, Vanessa Graber, Marcus E. Lower +19

Rapidly Spinning Massive Pulsars as an Indicator of Quark Deconfinement
Christoph Gärtlein, Violetta Sagun, Oleksii Ivanytskyi +2
We study rotating hybrid stars, with particular emphasis on the effect of spin on the deconfinement phase transition and star properties. Our analysis is based on a hybrid equation…
