The Role of Strong Gravity and the Nuclear Equation of State on Neutron-Star Common-Envelope Accretion
A. Miguel Holgado, Hector O. Silva, Paul M. Ricker +1
Common-envelope evolution is important in the formation of neutron star binaries within the isolated binary formation channel. As a neutron star inspirals within the envelope of a…
The surface of rapidly-rotating neutron stars: implications to neutron star parameter estimation
Hector O. Silva, George Pappas, Nicolás Yunes +1
The Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) is currently observing the x-ray pulse profiles emitted by hot spots on the surface of rotating neutron stars allowing for an…
Finite size effects on the light curves of slowly-rotating neutron stars
Hajime Sotani, Hector O. Silva, George Pappas
An important question when studying the light curves produced by hot spots on the surface of rotating neutron stars is, how might the shape of the light curve be affected by relaxi…
Evidence for a maximum mass cut-off in the neutron star mass distribution and constraints on the equation of state
Justin Alsing, Hector O. Silva, Emanuele Berti
We infer the mass distribution of neutron stars in binary systems using a flexible Gaussian mixture model and use Bayesian model selection to explore evidence for multi-modality an…
Low-mass neutron stars: universal relations, the nuclear symmetry energy and gravitational radiation
Hector O. Silva, Hajime Sotani, Emanuele Berti
The lowest neutron star masses currently measured are in the range , but these measurement have either large uncertainties or refer to isolated neutron stars. The…
