Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!
Explore the fascinating intersection of gravity, astrophysics, and particle physics in this 55-minute virtual talk presented by Luciano Rezzolla from Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt. Delve into the world of binary neutron stars and their significance as rich laboratories for studying Einstein's theory of gravity. Discover recent advancements in modeling these systems and learn how gravitational signals can provide crucial insights into the equation of state for matter at nuclear densities. Examine the concept of maximum mass in compact stars as a key implication of general relativity. Investigate the potential for neutron star mergers to trigger phase transitions from hadronic to quark matter, and understand how this process could manifest in post-merger gravitational-wave signals. Gain a unique perspective on the production of quark matter in the present Universe and its observational implications.
