Title: Probing dense matter with multi-messenger astronomy

Abstract: Observations of neutron stars and related high-energy astrophysical phenomena can expand our understanding of strong interaction and help us explore the properties of dense matter in thermodynamic conditions unreachable in laboratories on Earth. In this overview, we discuss the field of extremely dense matter and particularly how gravitational wave and electromagnetic spectrum detections can constrain the equation of state of dense and neutron-rich matter. We expand on the techniques used to do so, the caveats and various approximations they rely on, and finally comment on the prospects for dense matter exploration with the next generation of detectors.
