abstract

Many physically motivated extensions to general relativity (GR) predict significant deviations in the properties of spacetime surrounding massive neutron stars. We report the measurement of a 2.01 +/- 0.04 solar mass pulsar in a 2.46-hr orbit with a 0.172 +/- 0.003 solar mass white dwarf. The high pulsar mass and the compact orbit make this system a sensitive laboratory of a previously untested strong-field gravity regime. Thus far, the observed orbital decay agrees with GR, supporting its validity even for the extreme conditions present in the system. The resulting constraints on deviations support the use of GR-based templates for ground-based gravitational wave detectors. Additionally, the system strengthens recent constraints on the properties of dense matter and provides insight to binary stellar astrophysics and pulsar recycling.

Cooling of Hybrid Stars with a 2SC+$<dd>$ Phase

nucl-th · 2026-06-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Hybrid stars containing the 2SC+<dd> phase cool more slowly than those with the 2SC phase because inherited 3P2 superfluidity suppresses quark beta decay, producing cooling curves close to the CFL case.

Black holes and neutron stars in massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory

gr-qc · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Field equation analysis near infinity in massive Hellings-Nordtvedt theory restricts the model to two single-coupling sectors; the A²R sector yields asymptotically flat Schwarzschild black holes with radial vector fields and neutron stars with measurable deviations from GR while satisfying weak-fiel

Donutization Inside Neutron Stars: Shell-Localized Scalar Fields

gr-qc · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Heavy scalar fields in neutron stars form interior shell-localized profiles that reshape the effective equation of state and break the I-Q relation while remaining hidden from binary pulsar observations.

Neutron stars in a conservative $f(R,T)$ gravity

gr-qc · 2026-05-09 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A conservative f(R,T) gravity reformulation decouples the gravitational sector from the microphysical equation of state, enabling computation of neutron star mass-radius relations and tidal deformabilities that satisfy current astrophysical constraints.

Nonradial oscillations of realistic anisotropic neutron stars: Axial modes

gr-qc · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Axial modes of anisotropic neutron stars are integrated numerically for realistic EOS; frequency falls with mass, damping time rises, and scaled quantities follow a near-universal quadratic in compactness that is largely EOS-insensitive but mildly model-dependent.

Properties of Stable Massive Quark Stars in Holography

hep-ph · 2025-12-02 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Holographic model of massive deconfined quarks yields a stiff enough equation of state to allow stable 2-solar-mass hybrid stars with quark cores for certain nuclear phases.

Bayesian inferences on covariant density functionals from multimessenger astrophysical data: Influences of parametrizations of density dependent couplings

astro-ph.HE · 2025-12-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Different parametrizations of density dependence in covariant density functionals produce significant variations in the high-density equation of state and symmetry energy, with rational-function forms providing flexibility when saturation properties are adjusted and constrained by multimessenger ast

Tracing the Trace Anomaly of Dense Matter inside Neutron Stars

astro-ph.HE · 2025-11-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Quasi-universal relations connect the trace anomaly profile of neutron star matter to stellar compactness, moment of inertia, and tidal deformability, yielding a central value estimate of Δ_c = 0.1770^{+0.0365}_{-0.0432} for a 1.4 M_⊙ star.

Constraining light fermionic dark matter with binary pulsars

astro-ph.GA · 2019-06-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Dynamical friction from a degenerate fermionic dark matter background induces measurable secular decay in binary pulsar orbital periods, with sensitivity to fermion masses ≳50 eV and example upper bounds around 1 keV from Milky Way data.

Neutron star with dark matter using vector portal

hep-ph · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Vector portal fermionic dark matter admixed in neutron stars produces mediator-mass-dependent changes to the equation of state, yielding distinct mass-radius relations and tidal deformabilities that observations can use to constrain the model.
