This book is a comprehensive collection of thirteen reviews of many aspects of neutron stars motivated by the NewCompStar network, funded through the European Cooperation in Science and Technology, which between 2013 and 2017 encouraged the interdisciplinary (astrophysics, gravitational physics and nuclear...
The physics of neutron stars is a remarkable combination of Einstein’s theory of general relativity and nuclear physics. Their interiors harbour extreme matter that cannot be probed in the laboratory. At such high densities and pressures, their cores may consist predominantly of exotic matter, such...

We next discuss the consequences of quark matter nucleation for the physics and the evolution of proto-neutron stars. We introduce the new concept of limiting conversion temperature and critical mass M-cr for proto-hadronic stars, and we show that proto-hadronic stars with a mass M < M-cr ...
We explore the unique and fascinating structure of neutron stars. Although neutron stars are of interest in many areas of Physics, our aim is to provide an intellectual bridge between Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. We argue against the naive perceptio
With just a few model parameters calibrated to the ground state properties of the closed-shell nuclei, these models exhibit and encode a great amount of physics. However, theses models are untested far away from their narrow window of applicability. In particular, while these models tend to ...

All that "something" is currently sitting under the label of dark matter, and the vast majority of scientists believe that dark matter is some new kind of particle that's currently not included in theStandard Modelof particle physics and evades direct detection because it barely, if ever, inte...
Some twenty-three years after the discovery of pulsars and their identification as rotating neutron stars, neutron star physics may be regarded as comingofage. Pul sars and accreting neutron stars have now been studied at every wavelengt... J Ventura - Springer Netherlands 被引量: 397发表: 199...
“Neutron stars before the merger are effectively cold, while they may be billions of degrees Kelvin, their incredible density means that this heat contributes very little to the energy of the system,” said David Radice, assistant professor of physics and of astronomy and astrophysics in the Ebe...
