Seeking the nearest neutron stars using a new local electron density map
Joseph Bramante, Katherine Mack, Nirmal Raj +2
Neutron stars provide a compelling testing ground for gravity, nuclear dynamics, and physics beyond the Standard Model, and so it will be useful to locate the neutron stars nearest…
Breaking into the window of primordial black hole dark matter with x-ray microlensing
Manish Tamta, Nirmal Raj, Prateek Sharma
Primordial black holes (PBHs) in the mass range may constitute all the dark matter. We show that gravitational microlensing of bright x-ray pulsars prov…
Reheated Sub-40000 Kelvin Neutron Stars at the JWST, ELT, and TMT
Nirmal Raj, Prajwal Shivanna, Gaurav Niraj Rachh
Neutron stars cooling passively since their birth may be reheated in their late-stage evolution by a number of possible phenomena: rotochemical, vortex creep, crust cracking, magne…
Could compact stars in globular clusters constrain dark matter?
Raghuveer Garani, Nirmal Raj, Javier Reynoso-Cordova
The dark matter content of globular clusters, highly compact gravity-bound stellar systems, is unknown. It is also generally unknow*able*, due to their mass-to-light ratios typical…
