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.

Constraining the Maximum Mass of Neutron Stars from Multi-messenger Observations of GW170817 [PDF]
, 2017 We combine electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational-wave (GW) information on the binary neutron star (NS) merger GW170817 in order to constrain the radii and maximum mass of NSs.

Cyclotron lines in highly magnetized neutron stars [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018 Cyclotron lines, also called cyclotron resonant scattering features are spectral features, generally appearing in absorption, in the X-ray spectra of objects containing highly magnetized neutron stars, allowing the direct measurement of the magnetic ...

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.

A Method for Distinguishing Between Transiently Accreting Neutron Stars and Black Holes, in Quiescence [PDF]
, 1999 We fit hydrogen atmosphere models to the X-ray data for four neutron stars (three from a previous paper, plus 4U 2129+47) and six black hole candidates (A0620-00, GS 2000+25, GS 1124-68, GS 2023+33, GRO J1655-40, and GRO J0422+32).

Quarkyonic Matter and Neutron Stars. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 We consider quarkyonic matter to naturally explain the observed properties of neutron stars. We argue that such matter might exist at densities close to that of nuclear matter, and at the onset, the pressure and the sound velocity in quarkyonic matter ...

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 ...

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 ...
