Constraining the nuclear equation of state from orbits of primordial black holes inside neutron stars
Anna Chen, Juan Diego DelPrado, Thomas W. Baumgarte +1
Lacking terrestrial experimental data, our best constraints on the behavior of matter at high densities up to and above nuclear density arise from observations of neutron stars. Cu…
Primordial black holes captured by neutron stars: simulations in general relativity
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro
We present self-consistent numerical simulations in general relativity of putative primordial black holes inside neutron stars. Complementing a companion paper in which we assumed…
Primordial black holes captured by neutron stars: relativistic point-mass treatment
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro
Primordial black holes (PBHs), if they exist, may collide with and be captured by neutron stars. We adopt a relativistic point-mass approximation to study this capture, the subsequ…
Could long-period transients be powered by primordial black hole capture?
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro
Long-period radio transients have unusual properties that challenge their interpretation as pulsars or magnetars. We examine whether they might instead be powered by primordial bla…
Primordial black hole capture, gravitational wave beats, and the nuclear equation of state
Thomas W. Baumgarte, Stuart L. Shapiro
Primordial black holes (PBHs), if captured by neutron stars (NSs), would emit a characteristic gravitational wave (GW) signal as they orbit inside the host star. We identify a spec…
