Nuclear Physics Seminar - Reed Essick (Perimeter Institute) Canada - Gravitational Laboratories for Nuclear Physics
Novel astrophysical observations open new windows onto the supranuclear equation of state that describes the extremely dense matter in the cores of neutron stars. This includes observations of coalescing binary neutron stars with gravitational waves as well as radio and X-ray observations of multiple pulsar systems. I will review how we can use this astrophysical data to constrain the equation of state, common pitfalls of such analyses, and how, when done correctly, analyses of neutron stars can teach us about the fundamental interactions between nucleons at or below nuclear saturation density even when we have no theoretical model for nuclear matter at high (or low!) densities.
