The understanding of stellar structure represents the crossroads of our theories of the
nuclear force and the gravitational interaction under the most extreme conditions observably …

Scalarization is a mechanism that endows strongly self-gravitating bodies, such as neutron
stars and black holes, with a scalar-field configuration. It resembles a phase transition in that …

The dawn of the twenty-first century came with very positive prospects for gravity, cosmology,
and astrophysics. Technological progress made it possible for cosmology to enter to its …

Exploring the nature of gravity in the strong curvature regime is seeing a surge of interest
lately. This is expected to intensify, as it is driven by current and future observations of …

We examine the static structure configurations and radial stability of compact stars within the
context of f (R, T) gravity, with R and T standing for the Ricci scalar and trace of the energy …

In certain scalar-field extensions to general relativity, scalar charges can develop on
compact objects in an inspiraling binary—an effect known as dynamical scalarization. This …

We investigate the properties of postmerger remnants of binary neutron star mergers in the
framework of Damour–Esposito-Farese-type scalar-tensor theory of gravity with a massive …

The class of scalar-tensor theories with the scalar field coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet
invariant has drawn great interest since solutions of spontaneous scalarization were found …

The spectrum of frequencies and characteristic times that compose the ringdown phase of
gravitational waves emitted by neutron stars carries information about the matter content (the …

Many classes of extended scalar-tensor theories predict that dynamical instabilities can take
place at high energies, leading to the formation of scalarized neutron stars. Depending on …
