Dense Baryonic Matter Predicted in "Pseudo-Conformal Model"

TL;DR

The paper discusses the pseudo-conformal model for dense baryonic matter in compact stars, comparing its predictions with astrophysical data, especially gravitational wave observations, and finds the model remains consistent with current observations.

Contribution

It introduces the pseudo-conformal model with minimal parameters for dense matter and demonstrates its compatibility with recent astrophysical data.

Findings

Model predictions remain consistent with gravitational wave data.

Topology change in the model is robust against observational constraints.

The model provides a parameter-free approach to dense matter in stars.

Abstract

The World-Class University/Hanyang Project launched in Korea in 2007 led to what's now called ``pseudo-conformal model" that addresses dense compact-star matter and is confronted in this short note with the presently available astrophysical observables, with focus on those from gravity waves. The predictions made nearly free of parameters by the model involving ``topology change" remain more or less intact ``un-torpedoed" by the data.
