Gravitational waves from neutron star mergers and their relation to the nuclear equation of state

L Baiotti - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2019 - Elsevier
In this article, I introduce ideas and techniques to extract information about the equation of
state of matter at very high densities from gravitational waves emitted before, during and …

Constraining twin stars with GW170817

G Montana, L Tolos, M Hanauske, L Rezzolla - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
If a phase transition is allowed to take place in the core of a compact star, a new stable
branch of equilibrium configurations can appear, providing solutions with the same mass as …

Extreme matter meets extreme gravity: Ultraheavy neutron stars with phase transitions

H Tan, T Dore, V Dexheimer, J Noronha-Hostler… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The speed of sound of the matter within neutron stars may contain nonsmooth structure
related to first-or higher-order phase transitions. Here we investigate what are the …

Phases of dense matter in compact stars

D Blaschke, N Chamel - The Physics and Astrophysics of Neutron Stars, 2018 - Springer
Formed in the aftermath of gravitational core-collapse supernova explosions, neutron stars
are unique cosmic laboratories for probing the properties of matter under extreme conditions …

Structure formation during phase transitions in strongly interacting matter

DN Voskresensky - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2023 - Elsevier
A broad range of problems associated with phase transitions in systems characterized by
the strong interaction between particles and with formation of structures is reviewed. A …

Sexaquark dilemma in neutron stars and its solution by quark deconfinement

M Shahrbaf, D Blaschke, S Typel, GR Farrar… - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
Following the idea that a stable sexaquark state with quark content (uuddss) would have
gone unnoticed by experiments so far and that such a particle would be a good dark matter …

Third family of compact stars within a nonlocal chiral quark model equation of state

DE Alvarez-Castillo, DB Blaschke, AG Grunfeld… - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
A class of hybrid compact star equations of state is investigated that joins by a Maxwell
construction a low-density phase of hadronic matter, modeled by a relativistic mean-field …

Bayesian analysis of multimessenger MR data with interpolated hybrid EoS

A Ayriyan, D Blaschke, AG Grunfeld… - The European Physical …, 2021 - Springer
We introduce a family of equations of state (EoS) for hybrid neutron star (NS) matter that is
obtained by a two-zone parabolic interpolation between a soft hadronic EoS at low densities …

Was GW170817 a canonical neutron star merger? Bayesian analysis with a third family of compact stars

D Blaschke, A Ayriyan, DE Alvarez-Castillo… - Universe, 2020 - mdpi.com
We investigate the possibility that GW170817 was not the merger of two conventional
neutron stars (NS), but involved at least one if not two hybrid stars with a quark matter core …
