Ruling out nucleonic direct Urca cooling in low-mass neutron stars using nuclear data
Gabriele Montefusco, Pietro Klausner, Marco Antonelli +3
Connecting nuclear experiments to neutron star composition requires controlling the extrapolation of experimental information beyond the densities probed in the laboratory. We comb…
Probing the density dependence of nuclear symmetry energy through isospin transport in heavy-ion reactions

The density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy remains one of the key uncertainties in contemporary nuclear physics, with significant implications for the structure of exoti…
Role of the Meson in the Equation of State an Direct Urca Cooling of Neutron Stars
Luigi Scurto, Helena Pais, Marco Antonelli +1
The direct Urca (dUrca) process is a key mechanism driving rapid neutrino cooling in neutron stars, with its baryon density activation threshold determined by the microscopic model…
Light clusters in the liquid proto-neutron star inner crust
H. Dinh Thi, A. F. Fantina, F. Gulminelli
Being born hot from core-collapse supernova, the crust of the proto-neutron star is expected to be made of a Coulomb liquid and composed of an ensemble of different nuclear species…

Chiranjib Mondal, Francesca Gulminelli
The need of reconciling our understanding of the behavior of hadronic matter across a wide range of densities, especially at the time when data from multimessenger observations and…
Can we decipher the composition of the core of a neutron star?
Chiranjib Mondal, Francesca Gulminelli
General relativity guarantees a unique one-to-one correspondence between static observables of neutron stars (NSs) accessible by multi-messenger astronomy, such as mass-radius or t…
Uncertainties in the pasta-phase properties of catalysed neutron stars
H. Dinh Thi, T. Carreau, A. F. Fantina +1
The interior of a neutron star is expected to exhibit different states of matter. In particular, complex non-spherical configurations known as `pasta' phases may exist at the highe…
