"From Multimessenger Astronomy to Neutrons and Protons"


Andrew Steiner , University of Tennessee
[Host: Kent Yagi]
ABSTRACT:

Of course, multimessenger astronomy promises to revolutionize

astronomy and our understanding of nucleosynthesis. My

research shows that it goes further: astronomical observations

(via both photons and gravitational waves) provides a unique

laboratory to deepen our understanding of QCD and the

nucleon-nucleon interaction. Most current work is focused

on the equation of state. While the equation of state is

indeed important, in this talk, I show how we can

go beyond energy density and pressure. I present the first

large-scale Bayesian inference of neutron star observations

and nuclear structure data to obtain novel results on the

composition of dense matter and the nature of nucleonic

superfluidity.
