Connecting afterglow light curves to the GRB central engine

Muhammed Diyaddin Ilhan, Kai Schwenzer

Gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglow light curves have the potential to inform us about presently unobserved stages in the aftermath of a neutron star merger. Using numerical simulation…

Gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars

Brynmor Haskell, Kai Schwenzer

Neutron star interiors are a fantastic laboratory for high density physics in extreme environments. Probing this system with standard electromagnetic observations is, however, a ch…

Strengthening the bounds on the r-mode amplitude with X-ray observations of millisecond pulsars

Tuğba Boztepe, Ersin Göğüs, Tolga Güver +1

r-mode oscillations have been shown to have a significant potential to constrain the composition of fast spinning neutron stars. Due to their high rotation rates, millisecond pulsa…

Signatures for quark matter from multi-messenger observations

Mark G. Alford, Sophia Han, Kai Schwenzer

We review the prospects for detecting quark matter in neutron star cores. We survey the proposed signatures and emphasize the importance of data from neutron star mergers, which pr…

On the importance of viscous dissipation and heat conduction in binary neutron-star mergers

Mark G. Alford, Luke Bovard, Matthias Hanauske +2

Inferring the properties of dense matter is one of the most exciting prospects from the measurement of gravitational waves from neutron star mergers. However, it will require relia…

X-ray bounds on the r-mode amplitude in millisecond pulsars

Kai Schwenzer, Tuğba Boztepe, Tolga Güver +1

r-mode astroseismology provides a unique way to study the internal composition of compact stars. Due to their precise timing, recycled millisecond radio pulsars present a particula…
