An observational upper limit on the rate of gamma-ray bursts with neutron star-black hole merger progenitors
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Eric Burns, Philippe Landry +1
Compact-object binary mergers consisting of one neutron star and one black hole (NSBHs) have long been considered promising progenitors for gamma-ray bursts, whose central engine r…
Phase Transition Phenomenology with Nonparametric Representations of the Neutron Star Equation of State
Reed Essick, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +2
Astrophysical observations of neutron stars probe the structure of dense nuclear matter and have the potential to reveal phase transitions at high densities. Most recent analyses a…
Prospects for constraining twin stars with next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Philippe Landry, Kabir Chakravarti
Neutron star equations of state with strong phase transitions may support twin stars, hybrid and hadronic stars with the same mass but different tidal deformabilities. The presence…
Snowmass 2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: The Dense Matter Equation of State and QCD Phase Transitions
Slavko Bogdanov, Emmanuel Fonseca, Rahul Kashyap +26
Our limited understanding of the physical properties of matter at ultra-high density, high proton/neutron number asymmetry, and low temperature is presently one of the major outsta…
Population properties and multimessenger prospects of neutron star-black hole mergers following GWTC-3
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Philippe Landry, Salvatore Vitale
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers detected in gravitational waves have the potential to shed light on supernova physics, the dense matter equation of state, and the astrophysi…
Implicit correlations within phenomenological parametric models of the neutron star equation of state
Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou, Reed Essick +1
The rapid increase in the number and precision of astrophysical probes of neutron stars in recent years allows for the inference of their equation of state. Observations target dif…
The Mass Distribution of Neutron Stars in Gravitational-wave Binaries
Philippe Landry, Jocelyn S. Read
The discovery of two neutron star-black hole coalescences by LIGO and Virgo brings the total number of likely neutron stars observed in gravitational waves to six. We perform the f…
Impact of the PSR J0740+6620 radius constraint on the properties of high-density matter
Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou, Reed Essick +2
X-ray pulse profile modeling of PSR J0740+6620, the most massive known pulsar, with data from the NICER and XMM-Newton observatories recently led to a measurement of its radius. We…
Predicting electromagnetic counterparts using low-latency, gravitational-wave data products
Cosmin Stachie, Michael W. Coughlin, Tim Dietrich +8
Searches for gravitational-wave counterparts have been going in earnest since GW170817 and the discovery of AT2017gfo. Since then, the lack of detection of other optical counterpar…
Discriminating between Neutron Stars and Black Holes with Imperfect Knowledge of the Maximum Neutron Star Mass
Reed Essick, Philippe Landry
Although gravitational-wave signals from exceptional low-mass compact binary coalescences, like GW170817, may carry matter signatures that differentiate the source from a binary bl…
Direct Astrophysical Tests of Chiral Effective Field Theory at Supranuclear Densities
Reed Essick, Ingo Tews, Philippe Landry +2
Recent observations of neutron stars with gravitational waves and X-ray timing provide unprecedented access to the equation of state (EoS) of cold dense matter at densities difficu…
Nonparametric constraints on neutron star matter with existing and upcoming gravitational wave and pulsar observations
Philippe Landry, Reed Essick, Katerina Chatziioannou
Observations of neutron stars, whether in binaries or in isolation, provide information about the internal structure of the most extreme material objects in the Universe. In this w…
Nonparametric Inference of Neutron Star Composition, Equation of State, and Maximum Mass with GW170817
Reed Essick, Philippe Landry, Daniel E. Holz
The detection of GW170817 in gravitational waves provides unprecedented constraints on the equation of state (EOS) of the ultra-dense matter within the cores of neutron stars (NSs)…
