Strangeness Transport in Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Melvin Storbacka, Jiaxi Wu, Alexander Haber +5
The presence of hyperons in the cores of neutron stars opens fast strangeness equilibration channels that can produce bulk-viscous dissipation during binary inspiral. Because these…
Thermalization of Neutrinos in a Neutron Star Merger Simulation
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Francois Foucart +1
We study the neutrino distributions that arise in a simulation of a neutron star merger that uses a Monte Carlo (MC) neutrino transport scheme. In a snapshot taken 1 ms after merge…
Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Michael Buballa +3
We calculate the absorption mean free paths of electron and muon neutrinos in two-flavor color-superconducting (2SC) quark matter in the density and temperature range that is relev…
Nonparametric extensions of nuclear equations of state: probing the breakdown scale of relativistic mean-field theory
Isaac Legred, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +2
Phenomenological calculations of the properties of dense matter, such as relativistic mean-field theories, represent a pathway to predicting the microscopic and macroscopic propert…
Building Neutron Stars with the MUSES Calculation Engine
Mateus Reinke Pelicer, Nikolas Cruz-Camacho, Carlos Conde +25
Exploring the equation of state of dense matter is an essential part of interpreting the observable properties of neutron stars. We present here the first results for dense matter…
Effect of Magnetic Fields on Urca Rates in Neutron Star Mergers
Pranjal Tambe, Debarati Chatterjee, Mark Alford +1
Isospin-equilibrating weak processes, called ``Urca" processes, are of fundamental importance in astrophysical environments like (proto-)neutron stars, neutron star mergers, and su…
Beyond modified Urca: the nucleon width approximation for flavor-changing processes in dense matter
Mark G. Alford, Alexander Haber, Ziyuan Zhang
Flavor-changing charged current ("Urca") processes are of central importance in the astrophysics of neutron stars. Standard calculations approximate the Urca rate as the sum of two…
Validity of a finite temperature expansion for dense nuclear matter
Debora Mroczek, Nanxi Yao, Katherine Zine +5
In this work we provide a new, well-controlled expansion of the equation of state of dense matter from zero to finite temperatures () while covering a wide range of charge fract…
Theoretical and Experimental Constraints for the Equation of State of Dense and Hot Matter
Rajesh Kumar, Veronica Dexheimer, Johannes Jahan +57
This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results…
