Neutron Star Masses, Radii and Equation of State
Henning Heiselberg (Nordita)
TL;DR
This paper reviews current measurements of neutron star masses and radii, discussing how these observations constrain the nuclear matter equation of state, including phase transitions to quark matter and color superconducting phases.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of observational constraints on neutron star properties and explores implications for exotic phases of nuclear matter.
Findings
Current mass and radius measurements constrain nuclear matter models.
Phase transitions to quark matter are supported by observational data.
Color superconducting phases are considered in the context of neutron star interiors.
Abstract
A review of current neutron star masses and radius measurements is given and the resulting constraints on modern equation of states for nuclear matter. Phase transitions in particular to quark matter is discussed and the novel color superconducting mixed phases.
