Sonoluminescence in neutron stars [PDF]
Physics Letters B, 1998 After a brief discussion of a possible relationship between the electroweak phase transition in highly compressed matter and gravitational collapse, we examine the speculative possibility that the electroweak phase transition might be contemporarily occurring in processes in neutron stars. We conjecture that adiabatic compression of neutron star matter

What can neutron stars reveal about the equation of state of dense matter? [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 Neutron stars are astrophysical objects of extremes, reaching the highest densities we can observe in the cosmos, and probing matter under conditions that cannot be recreated in terrestrial experiments.

The Zoo of neutron stars [PDF]
Physics of Particles and Nuclei, 2008 In these lecture notes I briefly discuss the present day situation and new discoveries in astrophysics of neutron stars focusing on isolated objects. The latter include soft gamma repeaters, anomalous X-ray pulsars, central compact objects in supernova remnants, the Magnificent seven, and rotating radio transients.

Nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars: Shedding light on the cosmic origin of heavy elements [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesLow-mass, low-metallicity stars while evolving through the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase undergo significant nucleosynthesis producing the majority of slow (s-) and intermedite (i-) neutron capture elements.

Neutron skins and neutron stars
Physical Review C, 2012 Background: The neutron skin of a heavy nucleus as well as many neutron-star properties are highly sensitive to the poorly constrained density dependence of the symmetry energy. Purpose: To provide for the first time meaningful theoretical errors and to assess the degree of correlation between the neutron-skin thickness of ${}^{208}$Pb and several ...

The Magnetospheres of (Accreting) Neutron Stars
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2014 I give an overview of the most important observational tools to study the magnetospheres of accreting neutron stars, with a focus on accreting neutron stars in high mass X-ray binary systems.

Neutrostriction in Neutron Stars [PDF]
Old and New Concepts of Physics, 2007 It is demonstrated that not only gravity, but also neutrostriction forces due to optical potential created by coherent elastic neutron-neutron scattering can hold a neutron star together. The latter forces can be stronger than gravitational ones. The effect of these forces on mass, radius and structure of the neutron star is estimated.

Constraining Dark Boson Decay Using Neutron Stars
Universe, 2023 Inspired by the well-known anomaly in the lifetime of the neutron, we investigated its consequences inside neutron stars. We first assessed the viability of the neutron decay hypothesis suggested by Fornal and Grinstein within neutron stars, in terms of ...
