Probing dense matter in compact star cores with radio pulsar data
Mark G. Alford, Kai Schwenzer
Astrophysical observations of compact stars provide, in addition to collider experiments, the other big source of information on matter under extreme conditions. The largest and mo…
QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives
N. Brambilla, S. Eidelman, P. Foka +46
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to…
Phase conversion dissipation in multicomponent compact stars
Mark G. Alford, Sophia Han, Kai Schwenzer
We propose a mechanism for the damping of density oscillations in multicomponent compact stars. The mechanism is the periodic conversion between different phases, i.e., the movemen…
Gravitational wave emission from oscillating millisecond pulsars
Mark G. Alford, Kai Schwenzer
Neutron stars undergoing r-mode oscillation emit gravitational radiation that might be detected on earth. For known millisecond pulsars the observed spindown rate imposes an upper…
