As above, so below: assessing extremeness of the neutron-star equation of state based on the unstable branch

Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela +1

Microscopic models of neutron-star matter have been widely used in astrophysical applications. The focus of attention has been on densities up to the maximal densities reached in s…

Static linear response of hot and dense QCD matter to electromagnetic fields: Leading hard and soft QCD corrections

Osvaldo Ferreira, Eduardo S. Fraga, Tyler Gorda +3

We compute the static electromagnetic susceptibilities of a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma using perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Our evaluation includes the leading $\…

Constrained Gaussian-process bridge prior for neutron-star equation-of-state inference

Tyler Gorda, Oleg Komoltsev, Aleksi Kurkela +1

We set forth a new method for generating model-agnostic, nonparametric priors for neutron star equation-of-state inference that are stable, causal and thermodynamically consistent…

Strong model-agnostic constraints for twin-star solutions

Sofia Blomqvist, Christian Ecker, Tyler Gorda +1

We perform a model-agnostic Bayesian analysis of the neutron-star-matter equation of state (EoS), using known ab-initio constraints and astrophysical observations to limit its beha…

Color superconductivity under neutron-star conditions at next-to-leading order

Andreas Geißel, Tyler Gorda, Jens Braun

The equation of state of deconfined strongly interacting matter at high densities remains an open question, with effects from quark pairing in the preferred color-flavor-locked (CF…

A new approach to determine the thermodynamics of deconfined matter to high accuracy

Tyler Gorda, Pablo Navarrete, Risto Paatelainen +2

We demonstrate that at finite density and sufficiently high temperatures, phase-quenched (PQ) lattice simulations combined with perturbation theory provide a new precision approach…
