Research in theoretical nuclear astrophysics
My research group studies how neutron star observations
can be used to understand how neutrons and protons
interact and how nuclear physics plays a role in
astrophysical objects and processes. Recently, we have
- determined how the equation of state and superfluid
nature of dense matter is determined by neutron star
observations,
- showed how tidal deformabilities are modified by
strong phase transitions,
- and combined modern theoretical results on neutron
matter and neutron star observations to make
predictions for neutron star tidal deformabilities for
LIGO.
