HIGH DENSITY QUARK MATTER. “The exploration of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions is one of the most exciting research programs of modern nuclear physics. The recent discoveries of neutron star mergers and supermassive neutron stars challenge our knowledge on high-density QCD matter, like its equation-of-state (EOS) and the microscopic degrees-of-freedom.” (QCD = quark matter). https://lnkd.in/dF38pNe View in LinkedIn

QUARK STARS “Neutron stars with large quark cores corresponding to more than one fourth of the total star mass are possible if the energy density gap and the pressure at transition are below 100 MeV/fm3.” https://lnkd.in/dBBmKNh View in LinkedIn

DOGGER BANK, “In the 1830s, small sailing vessels on the Dogger could catch a tonne of halibut per day. Today, the entire fishing fleet catches less than two tonnes a year.” https://lnkd.in/d5UYBUf View in LinkedIn

STRANGE STARS. “Unlike neutron stars, which have a critical mass, there is no minimum mass for SSs. Using the equation of state for SQM from phenomenological models, some authors have predicted the existence of a hydrostatically stable sequence of SQM stars, ranging from strange dwarfs to SSs It is interesting to note that strange planets exist in this continuous sequence.” (SQM = Strange-quark matter). (SS = strange stars). https://lnkd.in/daa6d3s View in LinkedIn

NEUTRON STARS. “In recent years our understanding of neutron stars has advanced remarkably, thanks to research converging from many directions. The importance of understanding neutron star behavior and structure has been underlined by the recent direct detection of gravitational radiation from merging neutron stars.” https://lnkd.in/dk9qX6w View in LinkedIn

BEYOND OUR GRASP. “A number of years ago we stumbled on the present minimal viscosity explanation for the linear resistivity, playing with the black holes. The qualitative nature of the physics at work is however stunningly different from anything in the condensed matter textbooks. At first encounter, the claims may sound outrageous. The electron fluid in the strange metal is claimed to be governed by hydrodynamics, it flows like water.” https://lnkd.in/dqysHFG View in LinkedIn

EXTRAORDINARY PHYSICS. “The interior of a neutron star, endowed with the highest magnetic fields known and with densities spanning about ten orders of magnitude from the surface to the centre, is predicted to exhibit various phases of dense strongly interacting matter, whose physics is reviewed in this chapter.” https://lnkd.in/dm-4wAJ View in LinkedIn

COSMIC LABS. “Formed in the aftermath of gravitational core-collapse supernova explosions, neutron stars are unique cosmic laboratories for probing the properties of matter under extreme conditions that cannot be reproduced in terrestrial laboratories.” https://lnkd.in/dm-4wAJ View in LinkedIn
