NICER neutron stars with dark energy and dark matter: effects on the inferred equation of state
Nathan Rutherford, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Anna Watts
[Abridged] In this work, we compare neutron stars where dark energy or dark matter are present in the core, contrasting them against purely baryonic stars with the same central ene…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
STROBE-X Mission Overview
Paul S. Ray, Peter W. A. Roming, Andrea Argan +54
We give an overview of the science objectives and mission design of the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) observatory, which has been…
The three phases of self-gravitating scalar field ground states
Anthony E. Mirasola, Nathan Musoke, Mark C. Neyrinck +2
It is generally assumed that scalar field dark matter halos would contain solitonic cores -- spherically symmetric ground state configurations -- at their centers. This is especial…
Probing fermionic asymmetric dark matter cores using global neutron star properties
Nathan Rutherford, Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Anna Watts
It is possible for asymmetric dark matter (ADM) to accumulate in neutron star interiors and affect their global properties. Considering the effects of this accumulation, neutron st…
Constraining the dense matter equation of state with new NICER mass-radius measurements and new chiral effective field theory inputs
Nathan Rutherford, Melissa Mendes, Isak Svensson +12
Pulse profile modeling of X-ray data from NICER is now enabling precision inference of neutron star mass and radius. Combined with nuclear physics constraints from chiral effective…
