Universe, 2021 A neutron star was first detected as a pulsar in 1967. It is one of the most mysterious compact objects in the universe, with a radius of the order of 10 km and masses that can reach two solar masses. In fact, neutron stars are star remnants, a kind of stellar zombie (they die, but do not disappear).

STRANGENESS IN NEUTRON STARS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics D, 2007 It is generally agreed on that the tremendous densities reached in the centers of neutron stars provide a high-pressure environment in which several intriguing particles processes may compete with each other. These range from the generation of hyperons to quark deconfinement to the formation of kaon condensates and H-matter.

Hyperon-Mixed Neutron Star Matter and Neutron Stars [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 2002 Effective Σ − n and Σ − Σ − interactions are derived fromthe G-matrix calculations for {n+Σ − } matter and employed in the investigation of hyperon mixing in neutron star matter. The threshold densities ρt(Y ) at which hyperons start to appear are between 2ρ0 and 3ρ0 (where ρ0 is the normal nuclear density) for both Λ and Σ − , and their fractions ...

Nuclear Physics with Gravitational Waves from Neutron Stars Disrupted by Black Holes
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Gravitational waves from neutron star–black hole (NSBH) mergers that undergo tidal disruption provide a potential avenue to study the equation of state of neutron stars and hence the behavior of matter at its most extreme densities.

Experimental Challenge to Heavy Element Synthesis under Explosive Burning on Neutron Stars [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 Binary stellar systems that involve a neutron star or two neutron stars make interesting phenomena, X-ray bursts and kilo-novae, respectively, which involve explosive burning either in the proton-rich environment or in the neutron-rich environment. These

Inferring the dense nuclear matter equation of state with neutron star tides [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 During the late stages of a neutron star binary inspiral finite-size effects come into play, with the tidal deformability of the supranuclear density matter leaving an imprint on the gravitational-wave signal.

Semi-empirical relation to understand matter properties at neutron star interiors
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 The occurrence of quark matter at the center of neutron stars is still in debate. This study defines some semi-empirical parameters that try to quantify the presence and the amount of quark matter at star interiors.

Thermodynamics of Hot Neutron Stars and Universal Relations
Universe, 2022 Over the last few years, the detection of gravitational waves from binary neutron star systems has rekindled our hopes for a deeper understanding of the unknown nature of ultradense matter.

Incommensurate Crystallization of Neutron Matter in Neutron Stars
East European Journal of Physics, 2020 The composition of the neutron stars from its surface region, outer-core, inner-core, and to its center is still being investigated. One can only surmise on the properties of neutron stars from the spectroscopic data that may be available from time to ...

The Physics of Neutron Stars [PDF]
Science, 2004 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 provide connections among nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics. Neutron stars may exhibit conditions and phenomena not observed elsewhere, such as
