We review the current status and recent progress of microscopic many-body approaches
and phenomenological models, which are employed to construct the equation of state of …

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 …

The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axion may modify the cooling rates of neutron stars
(NSs). The axions are produced within the NS cores from nucleon bremsstrahlung and …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

JCW had long wanted to write a new monograph on supernovae. Despite an immense
explosion in the literature and many review articles, there had not been one since that of …

Observations of thermal radiation from neutron stars can potentially provide information
about the states of supranuclear matter in the interiors of these stars with the aid of the …

Cooling simulations of neutron stars and their comparison with the data from thermally
emitting x-ray sources put constraints on the properties of axions, and by extension, of any …

We examine four candidate mechanisms that could explain the high surface temperatures of
magnetars.(1) Heat flux from the liquid core heated by ambipolar diffusion. It could sustain …

The observed rapid cooling of the neutron star (NS) located at the center of the supernova
remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A) can be explained in the minimal NS cooling scenario. This …

Young and rotation-powered neutron stars (NSs) are commonly observed as rapidly-
spinning pulsars. They dissipate their rotational energy by emitting pulsar wind with …
