Pulsar Constraints on Neutron Star Structure and Equation of State
The sudden spin jumps, or glitches, commonly seen in isolated neutron stars are thought to represent angular momentum transfer between the crust and the liquid interior [1]. In this picture, as a neutron star’s crust spins down under magnetic torque, differential rotation develops between the stellar crust and a portion of the liquid interior. The more rapidly rotating component then acts as an...
متن کاملConstraints on the Equation of State of Neutron Star Matter From Observations of Kilohertz QPOs
The frequencies of the highest-frequency kilohertz QPOs recently discovered in some sixteen neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binary systems are most likely the orbital frequencies of gas in Keplerian orbit around these neutron stars. If so, these QPOs provide tight upper bounds on the masses and radii of these neutron stars and important new constraints on the equation of state of neutron star m...
متن کاملConstraints on the symmetry energy from neutron star equation of state
We develop an equation of state (EOS) for neutron star (NS) matter, which forbids the direct URCA cooling and satis es the recent information on the mass and the radius, simultaneously. At sub-saturation densities, the symmetry energy of the EOS is well described by a function Esym ( ) = 31:6 ( = 0) with 0:70 0:77. This constraint on the density dependence of the symmetry energy is much severer...
متن کاملConstraints on the High-density Nuclear Equation of State from Neutron Star Observables
A forefront area of modern research concerns the exploration of the properties of ultra-dense nuclear matter and the determination of the equation of state (EoS)–the relation between pressure, temperature and density–of such matter. Experimentally, relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments enable physicists to cast a brief glance at hot and ultra-dense matter for times as short as about 10 s...
متن کاملOn the Progenitor of Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817
On 2017 August 17 the merger of two compact objects with masses consistent with two neutron stars was discovered through gravitational-wave (GW170817), gamma-ray (GRB170817A), and optical (SSS17a/AT 2017gfo) observations. The optical source was associated with the early-type galaxy NGC 4993 at a distance of just ∼40 Mpc, consistent with the gravitational-wave measurement, and the merger was lo...
