Measurements of the Mass and Radius of a Neutron Star: consequences for the Equation of State of dense nuclear matter
The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676 started a transition from outburst to quiescence in 2008, after more than 24 years of continuous accretion. Here, I use the spectral fitting package XSPEC to analyse the X-ray spectra of four XMM-Newton observations, elapsing a period of over four years, that started in March 2009. I confirm that cooling NS models, modified by interstellar abs...
متن کاملNeutron Star Radii, Core-collapse Supernovae, and the Equation of State of Dense Matter
Neutron star mass and radius measurements are becoming sufficiently accurate as to offer astrophysical constraints on the properties of neutron-rich matter near the nuclear saturation density. Current observations, which imply that the radius of a 1.4 solar mass neutron star lies between 10.4 and 12.9 km (95% confidence), also imply that 43 < L < 67 MeV, where L is a parameter describing the sl...
متن کاملNeutron Star Matter Equation of State and Gravitational Wave Emission
The EOS of strongly interacting matter at densities ten to fifteen orders of magnitude larger than the typical density of terrestrial macroscopic objects determines a number of neutron star properties, including the pattern of gravitational waves emitted following the excitation of nonradial oscillation modes. This paper reviews some of the approaches employed to model neutron star matter, as w...
متن کاملNeutron Star Mass Measurements
There are now about fty known radio pulsars in binary systems, including at least ve in double neutron star binaries. In some cases, the stellar masses can be directly determined from measurements of relativistic orbital eeects. In others, only an indirect or statistical estimate of the masses is possible. We review the general problem of mass measurement in radio pulsar binaries, and criticall...
متن کاملEquation of State of Dense Matter and Maximum Mass of Neutron Stars
Theoretical models of the equation of state (EOS) of neutronstar matter (starting with the crust and ending at the densest region of the stellar core) are reviewed. Apart from a broad set of baryonic EOSs, strange quark matter, and even more exotic (abnormal and Q-matter) EOSs are considered. Results of calculations of Mmax for non-rotating neutron stars and exotic compact stars are reviewed, w...
