This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for
dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results from …

We present a novel framework for the equation of state of dense and hot quantum
chromodynamics (QCD), which focuses on the region of the phase diagram relevant for …

We investigate the weak-interaction-driven bulk-viscous transport properties of npe matter in
the neutrino transparent regime. Previous works assumed that the induced bulk viscosity …

In nuclear matter in isolated neutron stars, the flavor content (eg, proton fraction) is subject to
weak interactions, establishing flavor (β-) equilibrium. However, there can be deviations …

We explore the consequences of imposing robust thermodynamic constraints arising from
perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) when inferring the dense-matter equation-of …

The spectral properties of the post-merger gravitational-wave signal from a binary of neutron
stars encodes a variety of information about the features of the system and of the equation of …

Modern hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star mergers
require knowledge not only of the equilibrium properties of strongly interacting matter, but …

We study the importance of the thermal behavior of the hadron-quark phase transition in
neutron star (NS) mergers. To this end, we devise a new scheme approximating thermal …

One of the main challenges in the numerical modeling of binary neutron-star mergers are
long-term simulations of the postmerger remnant over timescales of the order of seconds …

Binary neutron-star mergers and heavy-ion collisions are related through the properties of
the hot and dense nuclear matter formed during these extreme events. In particular, low …
