Lami Suleiman - Probing dense matter physics with observations of Neutron Stars

Friday 24 Oct 2025, 10:30 → 12:00 Europe/Berlin

An entire
field of nuclear astrophysics, which includes multi-messenger astronomy,
is devoted to exploring dense matter by observing Neutron Stars from
their birth in core collapse supernovae to their deaths in mergers.
In this presentation, we first introduce the most important components
to neutron star's physics, a mix of strong gravity, nuclear physics,
astronomy and neutrino physics. We consider the different methods used
to probe dense matter with multi-messenger astronomy, beyond what can be
achieved by nuclear physics experiments and theory, and discuss what the next-generation of
detectors is expected to provide as improvement.
