Fall 2013
The equation of state for cold ultra-dense matter has puzzled astrophysicists for decades. This is because the conditions of supra-nuclear density matter, such as those in neutron stars, are not terrestrially replicable. X-ray light curves from accreting neutron stars have proven to be useful...

Fall 2017
Neutron stars provide the key to understanding the equation of state at the highest pressure and density. Constraining the mass-radius relation of neu- tron stars will provide opportunities to test the currently conflicting candidates for the equation of state. Next generation instruments, such...

Fall 2019
Neutron stars are some of the densest objects in the Universe, with densities in their cores that are larger than that of the atomic nucleus. Their relatively small size allows them to spin very rapidly, with speeds at the equator that are a large fraction of the speed of light. Being some of the...

Fall 2019
Neutron stars (NSs) are the densest known objects which are gravitationally stable (unlike, e.g., black holes, which have undergone gravitational collapse). This makes NSs ideal sites for studying how matter behaves under extreme conditions, in particular a state known as cold dense...

Exotic binaries in Galactic globular clusters: identification, classification, and their formation
DownloadFall 2021
Globular clusters (GCs) are dense and massive stellar populations, which provide a unique environment where the high stellar density facilitates frequent dynamical encounters, creating many exotic binaries. These exotic binaries generally have short orbits and often harbour compact objects,...
