Neutron star observations: Prognosis for equation of state constraints

JM Lattimer, M Prakash - Physics reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We investigate how current and proposed observations of neutron stars can lead to an
understanding of the state of their interiors and the key unknowns: the typical neutron star …

Composition and structure of protoneutron stars

M Prakash, I Bombaci, M Prakash, PJ Ellis, JM Lattimer… - Physics Reports, 1997 - Elsevier
We investigate the structure of neutron stars shortly after they are born, when the entropy per
baryon is of order 1 or 2 and neutrinos are trapped on dynamical timescales. We find that the …

Neutron star structure and the equation of state

JM Lattimer, M Prakash - The Astrophysical Journal, 2001 - iopscience.iop.org
The structure of neutron stars is considered from theoretical and observational perspectives.
We demonstrate an important aspect of neutron star structure: the neutron star radius is …

The physics of neutron stars

JM Lattimer, M Prakash - Science, 2004 - science.org
Neutron stars are some of the densest manifestations of massive objects in the universe.
They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and …

On the mass distribution and birth masses of neutron stars

F Özel, D Psaltis, R Narayan… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate the distribution of neutron star masses in different populations of binaries,
employing Bayesian statistical techniques. In particular, we explore the differences in …

The neutron star mass distribution

B Kiziltan, A Kottas, M De Yoreo… - The Astrophysical …, 2013 - iopscience.iop.org
In recent years, the number of pulsars with secure mass measurements has increased to a
level that allows us to probe the underlying neutron star (NS) mass distribution in detail. We …

Refined neutron star mass determinations for six eclipsing x-ray pulsar binaries

ML Rawls, JA Orosz, JE McClintock… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We present an improved method for determining the mass of neutron stars in eclipsing X-ray
pulsar binaries and apply the method to six systems, namely, Vela X-1, 4U 1538-52, SMC X …

Towards gravitational wave asteroseismology

N Andersson, KD Kokkotas - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 1998 - academic.oup.com
We present new results for pulsating neutron stars. We have calculated the
eigenfrequencies of the modes that one would expect to be the most important gravitational …

Rotating stars in relativity

N Stergioulas - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2003 - Springer
Rotating relativistic stars have been studied extensively in recent years, both theoretically
and observationally, because of the information they might yield about the equation of state …

Strange stars with realistic quark vector interaction and phenomenological density-dependent scalar potential

M Dey, I Bombaci, J Dey, S Ray, BC Samanta - Physics Letters B, 1998 - Elsevier
We derive an equation of state (EOS) for strange matter, starting from an interquark potential
which (i) has asymptotic freedom built into it,(ii) shows confinement at zero density (ρB= 0) …
