Enhanced Neutrino Cooling from Parity-Doubled Nucleons in Neutron Star Cooling Simulations

Rodrigo Negreiros, Liam Brodie, Jan Steinheimer +2

Although restoration of chiral symmetry is predicted by quantum chromodynamics to take place at high baryon density, most modeling of neutron star interiors disregards a chiral pha…

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…

General-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star mergers: The influence of spin on the multi-messenger picture

Anna Neuweiler, Henrique Gieg, Henrik Rose +8

The rich phenomenology of binary neutron star mergers offers a unique opportunity to test general relativity, investigate matter at supranuclear densities, and learn more about the…

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…

Parity-doubled nucleons can rapidly cool neutron stars

Liam Brodie, Robert D. Pisarski

In confined hadronic matter, the spontaneous breaking and restoration of chiral symmetry can be described by considering nucleons, , and excited states of opposite pari…

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…

Tabulated Equations of State From Models Informed by Chiral Effective Field Theory

Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +1

We construct four equation of state (EoS) tables, tabulated over a range of temperatures, densities, and charge fractions, relevant for neutron star applications such as simulation…

Nuclear and Hybrid Equations of State in Light of the Low-Mass Compact Star in HESS J1731-347

Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber

We sample over relativistic mean-field theories constrained by chiral effective field theory and properties of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter and test them against known st…

Relativistic mean-field theories for neutron-star physics based on chiral effective field theory

Mark G. Alford, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +1

We describe and implement a procedure for determining the couplings of a Relativistic Mean-Field Theory (RMFT) that is optimized for application to neutron star phenomenology. In t…
