A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

We summarize our current knowledge of neutron-star masses and radii. Recent
instrumentation and computational advances have resulted in a rapid increase in the …

In a single process, the merger of binary neutron star systems combines extreme gravity, the
copious emission of gravitational waves, complex microphysics and electromagnetic …

Background: The microscopic composition and properties of infinite hadronic matter at a
wide range of densities and temperatures have been subjects of intense investigation for …

This paper presents a detailed assessment of the ability of the 240 Skyrme interaction
parameter sets in the literature to satisfy a series of criteria derived from macroscopic …

We discuss in detail the distributions of energy, radial pressure and tangential pressure
inside the nucleon. In particular, this discussion is carried on in both the instant form and the …

In this work we review the role of hyperons on the properties of neutron and proto-neutron
stars. In particular, we revise the so-called “hyperon puzzle”, go over some of the solutions …

With the discovery of massive neutron stars such as PSR J1614-2230, the question has
arisen of whether exotic matter such as hyperons can exist in the neutron star core. We …

We discuss neutron stars with strong magnetic mean fields in the framework of Extended
Theories of Gravity. In particular, we take into account models derived from f (R) and f (Script …

The constituents of cold dense matter are still far from being understood. However, neutron
star observations such as the recently observed pulsar PSR J1614-2230 with a mass of …
