Thermodynamic versus Dynamical Description of the Neutron-Star Crust-Core Instability: Implications for Crustal Observables
Athul Kunjipurayil, J. Piekarewicz
We investigate the crust-core transition in neutron stars using both thermodynamic and dynamical descriptions of the instability. In the thermodynamic approach, the transition is i…
Relativistic mean-field models of neutron-rich matter
J. Piekarewicz
The aim of this chapter, focused on relativistic mean-field models and part of the Encyclopedia of Nuclear Physics, is to provide an introductory, self-contained discussion accessi…
Heaven and Earth: Nuclear Astrophysics after GW170817
J. Piekarewicz
The historical detection of gravitational waves from the binary neutron star merger GW170817 is providing fundamental new insights into the astrophysical site for the creation of t…
Neutron Skins: Weak Elastic Scattering and Neutron Stars
Juliette M. Mammei, Charles J. Horowitz, Jorge Piekarewicz +2
The recently completed PREX-2 campaign - which measured the weak form factor of lead at an optimal momentum transfer - has confirmed that the neutron skin of lead is relatively lar…
Density Dependence of the Symmetry Energy in the Post PREX-CREX Era
Brendan T. Reed, F. J. Fattoyev, C. J. Horowitz +1
The recently published CREX results suggest a rather peculiar picture for the density dependence of the symmetry energy. Whereas PREX favors a large neutron skin thickness in $^{20…
Building an Equation of State Density Ladder
Marc Salinas, Jorge Piekarewicz
The confluence of major theoretical, experimental, and observational advances are providing a unique perspective on the equation of state of dense neutron-rich matter -- particular…
