Abstract:
Neutron stars are a window into the
properties of dense nuclear matter.
The first observed binary neutron star
merger GW170817, pulse-profile X-ray
observations of PSR J0030+0415 by the
Nuclear Star Interior Composition
Explorer (NICER), nuclear physics
measurements, and new theoretical
many-body studies of neutron matter now powerfully
constrain the properties
of neutron stars and the equation of state
of dense matter.
The use of parameterized equations of
state, which probe the uncertain regions
of dense matter and revealed several
semi-universal relations connecting global
neutron star properties, have helped
quantify these constraints.
