Colloquium - From Nuclei to Neutron Stars with Chiral Effective Field Theory and Multimessenger Astrophysics with Ingo Tews
Speaker
Ingo Tews
Abstract
Neutron stars contain the largest reservoirs of degenerate fermions, reaching the highest densities we can observe in the cosmos, and probe matter under conditions that cannot be recreated in terrestrial experiments. Throughout the Universe, a large number of high-energy, cataclysmic astrophysical collisions of neutron stars are continuously occurring and provide an excellent testbed to probe the properties of matter at densities exceeding the...
