In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to
research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star …

A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

We identify an observable imprint of a first-order hadron-quark phase transition at
supranuclear densities on the gravitational-wave (GW) emission of neutron-star mergers …

In the context of the massive secondary object recently observed in the compact-star merger
GW190814, we investigate the possibility of producing massive neutron stars from a few …

We demonstrate that ab-initio calculations in QCD at high densities offer significant and
nontrivial information about the equation of state of matter in the cores of neutron stars …

The observation of gravitational waves from an asymmetric binary opens the possibility for
heavy neutron stars, but these pose challenges to models of the neutron star equation of …

Gravitational wave observations of GW170817 placed bounds on the tidal deformabilities of
compact stars, allowing one to probe equations of state for matter at supranuclear densities …

Information on the phase structure of strongly interacting matter at high baryon densities can
be gained from observations of neutron stars and their detailed analysis. In the present work …

Analyses that connect observations of neutron stars with nuclear-matter properties can rely
on equation-of-state insensitive relations. We show that the slope of the binary Love …

With the aim of exploring the evidence for or against phase transitions in cold and dense
baryonic matter, the inference of the sound speed and equation of state for dense matter in …
