Four-dimensional QCD equation of state with a critical surface from contours of constant entropy density

Tristan Gyure, Hitansh Shah, Lorenzo Formaggio +4

We present a new lattice-QCD-based equation of state in the four-dimensional space of which features a critical surface. This is obtained by generalizing the expa…

A 4D -expanded lattice QCD equation of state with a multi-dimensional 3D-Ising-type critical contribution

Francesco Di Clemente, Prachi Garella, Johannes Jahan +5

Inferring the possible existence and location of a critical point on the QCD phase diagram through experimental observations requires equations of state that include both lattice Q…

APRIL: Auxiliary Physically-Redundant Information in Loss -- A physics-informed framework for parameter estimation with a gravitational-wave case study

Matteo Scialpi, Francesco Di Clemente, Leigh Smith +1

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) embed the partial differential equations (PDEs) governing the system under study directly into the training of Neural Networks, ensuring so…

Strange Dwarfs: a review on the (in)stability

Francesco Di Clemente, Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara

White dwarfs are the remnants of stars not massive enough to become supernovae. This review explores the concept of strange dwarfs, a unique class of white dwarfs which contain cor…

Strange quark matter as dark matter: 40 years later, a reappraisal

Francesco Di Clemente, Marco Casolino, Alessandro Drago +2

Forty years ago Witten suggested that dark matter could be composed of macroscopic clusters of strange quark matter. This idea was very popular for several years, but it dropped ou…

Black Hole - Neutron Star mergers: using kilonovae to constrain the equation of state

Lowri Wyn Prys Mathias, Francesco Di Clemente, Mattia Bulla +1

The merging of a binary system involving two neutron stars (NSs), or a black hole (BH) and a NS, often results in the emission of an electromagnetic (EM) transient. One component o…

Is the compact object associated with HESS J1731-347 a strange quark star?

Francesco Di Clemente, Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara

The analysis of the central compact object within the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347 suggests that it has a small radius and, even more interestingly, a mass of the order or smal…

Stability and instability of strange dwarfs

Francesco Di Clemente, Alessandro Drago, Prasanta Char +1

More than 20 years ago, Glendenning, Kettner and Weber proposed the existence of stable white dwarfs with a core of strange quark matter. More recently, by studying radial modes, A…

Merger of a Neutron Star with a Black Hole: one-family vs. two-families scenario

Francesco Di Clemente, Alessandro Drago, Giuseppe Pagliara

A kilonova signal is generally expected after a Black Hole - Neutron Star merger. The strength of the signal is related to the equation of state of neutron star matter and it incre…
