In recent years, there have been several successful attempts to constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter using input from low-energy nuclear physics and observational data. We demonstrate that significant further restrictions can be placed by additionally requiring the pressure to approach that of deconfined quark matter at high densities. Remarkably, the new constraints turn out...

There is no precise theory describing the structure of neutron stars. However, inside such objects the baryon density is very high and a pion condensation may occur. This condensate, if it exist, might give a significant effect on a spectrum of neutron stars. We investigate this influence with a help of simplified model to give qualitative picture of the effect.

Due to magnetic catalysis, a strong magnetic field enhances the chiral condensate and thus can also be expected to increase the vacuum mass of nucleons. I will discuss resulting effect on the transition between vacuum and nuclear matter at zero temperature within two relativistic field-theoretical models. The results show that the creation of nuclear matter in a sufficiently strong magnetic...

Neutron stars are one of the most exciting nuclear laboratories in the universe. With internal densities above nuclear saturation density and temperatures well below the Fermi temperature, they allow us to prove a regime of the strong interaction that is not accessible in terrestrial laboratories. In particular neutron stars are likely to be interesting sources of gravitational waves, which...

In this talk I will describe how spinning neutron stars can produce long-lived gravitational wave signals. I will explain how the strength of this emission relates to the properties of the star, and describe the connection with the properties of matter at very high density. I will also describe efforts to detect such gravitational waves directly, and outline the key issues in this large...
