abstract
We investigate nuclear matter at finite temperature and density, including the formation of light clusters up to the alpha particle The novel feature of this work is to include the formation of clusters as well as their dissolution due to medium effects in a systematic way using two many-body theories: a microscopic quantum statistical (QS) approach and a generalized relativistic mean field (RMF) model. Nucleons and clusters are modified by medium effects. Both approaches reproduce the limiting cases of nuclear statistical equilibrium (NSE) at low densities and cluster-free nuclear matter at high densities. The treatment of the cluster dissociation is based on the Mott effect due to Pauli blocking, implemented in slightly different ways in the QS and the generalized RMF approaches. We compare the numerical results of these models for cluster abundances and thermodynamics in the region of medium excitation energies with temperatures T <= 20 MeV and baryon number densities from zero to a few times saturation density. The effect of cluster formation on the liquid-gas phase transition and on the density dependence of the symmetry energy is studied. Comparison is made with other theoretical approaches, in particular those, which are commonly used in astrophysical calculations. The results are relevant for heavy-ion collisions and astrophysical applications.

Requiring causal stable thermodynamically consistent extensions of neutron-star EOS models to perturbative QCD constrains high-density behavior and disfavors purely nucleonic descriptions for all stable stars.
Improved leading-order lattice Hamiltonians lower the liquid-gas critical temperature of symmetric nuclear matter to 13.50(17)-13.71(19) MeV while improving zero-temperature binding energies and saturation point.
RGOPT-resummed NNLO pQCD EoS for massive quarks in beta equilibrium is fitted and applied to construct pure quark stars (X=3.08-3.58) and hybrid stars (X~2-2.98) compatible with PSR J0740+6620 and GW190814.
Bayesian analysis finds that the likely ranges of light dark-matter fermion mass and exponential density-profile parameter in hyperon-containing neutron stars are nearly independent of the hadronic model for symmetry-energy slopes between 40 and 58 MeV, with HESS J1731-347 and GW170817 data playing,
New phenomenological anisotropy profiles in hybrid stars, driven by superconductivity and magnetic fields, lead to enhanced masses and continuous gravitational wave emission.
Bayesian modeling with informed priors reduces uncertainties in neutron-star crust shear properties, predicting torsional mode frequencies of 20-50 Hz compatible with observations.
Direct comparison of Konno-99 perturbative and LORENE numerical methods for poloidal magnetized neutron stars shows perturbative validity for observed fields up to ~10^16 G and numerical resolution limits below ~10^10 G.
Neutrino light curves from neutron stars may show an enhanced peak-to-plateau ratio, a density-tracing delay, and transient spectral hardening as diagnostics of hadron-quark phase transitions on 10-50 ms timescales.
An extended PNJL model locates the QCD critical end point and predicts that proto-neutron stars contain hyperons and Delta-isobars but no deconfined quarks, which appear only in cold neutron stars.
Review of neutron star dense matter, hadron-quark phase transitions, and potential g-mode signatures in gravitational waves from multimessenger observations.
Review summarizing the role of dense-matter equation of state, weak interactions, and r-process nucleosynthesis in binary neutron star mergers and their multimessenger observables.
