Title:        INSIDE NEUTRON STARS

by Prof. Gordon Baym (Urbana)

Tuesday, 24 May 2016 from 14:00 to 15:00 (Europe/Budapest)
at KFKI Campus, Bldg. 1 ( Meeting Room )
Budapest, Konkoly-Thege Miklós út 29-33.

Abstract:

While neutron stars were first posited in the early 1930's, and 
discovered as pulsars in late 1960's it is only recently that we are 
beginning to understand the matter they contain. The importance of 
understanding their behavior and structure has been underlined by the 
recent observational discovery of gravitational radiation, since merging 
of neutron stars with black holes or neutron stars will be principal 
sources of future observations of gravitational radiation. In this talk 
I will describe the ongoing development of a consistent picture of the 
liquid interiors of neutron stars, driven by three recent advances: 
observations of heavy neutron stars with masses ~2.0 solar masses; 
determinations of masses and radii simultaneously for an increasing 
number of neutron stars; and an emerging understanding in QCD of how 
nuclear matter can turn into deconfined quark matter in the interior.

Organised by    Tamás Biró and Gergely Barnaföldi.
