Event details

Neutron stars: astrophysical laboratories for nuclear physics

Neutron stars are formed in supernovae during the collapse that marks
the end of the life of stars with a mass of about 10 solar masses.
Although they have observed in all wavelengths for 50 years and
gravitational waves were recently detected from a binary neutron star
system, their structure and the properties of the matter inside them are
still poorly known. I will present how multi-messenger observations of
neutron stars and laboratory experiments may enable us to better
understand and constrain the properties of neutron star matter.
I will in particular focus on the modeling of the thermal emission
of isolated and accreting neutron stars.
