Detectability of Sub-Solar Mass Neutron Stars Through a Template Bank Search

Ananya Bandopadhyay, Brendan Reed, Surendra Padamata +6

We study the detectability of gravitational-wave signals from sub-solar mass binary neutron star systems by the current generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. We…

GW190814: Impact of a 2.6 solar mass neutron star on nucleonic equations of state

F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz +1

Is the secondary component of GW190814 the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered in a double compact-object system [R. Abbott et al., ApJ Lett., 896, L44…

Impact of the neutron star crust on the tidal polarizability

J. Piekarewicz, F. J. Fattoyev

The first detection of a binary neutron star merger has opened the brand new era of multimessenger astronomy. This historic detection has been instrumental in providing constraints…

Crust breaking and the limiting rotational frequency of neutron stars

F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, Hao Lu

The limiting rotational frequency of neutron stars may be determined by the strength of their crusts. As a star spins up from accretion, centrifugal forces will cause the crust to…

Neutron skins and neutron stars in the multi-messenger era

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz, C. J. Horowitz

The historical first detection of a binary neutron star merger by the LIGO-Virgo collaboration [B. P. Abbott et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 161101 (2017)] is providing fundamental ne…

Deep crustal heating by neutrinos from the surface of accreting neutron stars

F. J. Fattoyev, Edward F. Brown, Andrew Cumming +4

We present a new mechanism for deep crustal heating in accreting neutron stars. Charged pions () are produced in nuclear collisions on the neutron star surface during active a…

Quantum Nuclear Pasta and Nuclear Symmetry Energy

F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, B. Schuetrumpf

Complex and exotic nuclear geometries are expected to appear naturally in dense nuclear matter found in the crust of neutron stars and supernovae environment collectively referred…

Information and statistics: a new paradigm in theoretical nuclear physics

J. Piekarewicz, Wei-Chia Chen, F. J. Fattoyev

Theoretical predictions of physical observables often involve extrapolations to regions that are poorly constrained by laboratory experiments and astrophysical observations. Withou…

Pulsar Glitches: The Crust may be Enough

J. Piekarewicz, F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz

Pulsar glitches-the sudden spin-up in the rotational frequency of a neutron star-suggest the existence of an angular-momentum reservoir confined to the inner crust of the neutron s…

Has a thick neutron skin in Pb been ruled out?

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz

The Lead Radius Experiment (PREX) has provided the first model-independent evidence in favor of a neutron-rich skin in Pb. Although the error bars are large, the reported…

Accurate calibration of relativistic mean-field models: correlating observables and providing meaningful theoretical uncertainties

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz

Theoretical uncertainties in the predictions of relativistic mean-field models are estimated using a chi-square minimization procedure that is implemented by studying the small osc…

Relativistic effective interaction for nuclei, giant resonances, and neutron stars

F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz, J. Piekarewicz +1

Nuclear effective interactions are useful tools in astrophysical applications especially if one can guide the extrapolations to the extremes regions of isospin and density that are…

Sensitivity of the Moment of Inertia of Neutron Stars to the Equation of State of Neutron-Rich Matter

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz

The sensitivity of the stellar moment of inertia to the neutron-star matter equation of state is examined using accurately-calibrated relativistic mean-field models. We probe this…

Relativistic models of the neutron-star matter equation of state

F. J. Fattoyev, J. Piekarewicz

Motivated by a recent astrophysical measurement of the pressure of cold matter above nuclear-matter saturation density, we compute the equation of state of neutron star matter usin…
