Progress in Constraining Nuclear Symmetry Energy Using Neutron Star Observables Since GW170817
read the original abstract
New observational data of neutron stars since GW170817 have helped improve our knowledge about nuclear symmetry energy especially at high densities. We have learned particularly: (1) The slope parameter $L$ of nuclear symmetry energy at saturation density $\rho_0$ of nuclear matter from 24 new analyses is about $L\approx 57.7\pm 19$ MeV at 68\% confidence level consistent with its fiducial value, (2) The curvature $K_{\rm{sym}}$ from 16 new analyses is about $K_{\rm{sym}}\approx -107\pm 88$ MeV, (3) The magnitude of nuclear symmetry energy at $2\rho_0$, i.e. $E_{\rm{sym}}(2\rho_0)\approx 51\pm 13$ MeV at 68\% confidence level, has been extracted from 9 new analyses of neutron star observables consistent with results from earlier analyses of heavy-ion reactions and the latest predictions of the state-of-the-art nuclear many-body theories, (4) while the available data from canonical neutron stars do not provide tight constraints on nuclear symmetry energy at densities above about $2\rho_0$, the lower radius boundary $R_{2.01}=12.2$ km from NICER's very recent observation of PSR J0740+6620 of mass $2.08\pm 0.07$ $M_{\odot}$ and radius $R=12.2-16.3$ km at 68\% confidence level sets a tight lower limit for nuclear symmetry energy at densities above $2\rho_0$, (5) Bayesian inferences of nuclear symmetry energy using models encapsulating a first-order hadron-quark phase transition from observables of canonical neutron stars indicate that the phase transition shift appreciably both the $L$ and $K_{\rm{sym}}$ to higher values but with larger uncertaintie , (6) The high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy affects significantly the minimum frequency necessary to rotationally support GW190814's secondary component of mass (2.50-2.67) $M_{\odot}$ as the fastest and most massive pulsar discovered so far.

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

Cooling of Hybrid Stars with a 2SC+$<dd>$ Phase
Hybrid stars with a 2SC+⟨dd⟩ quark core cool hotter than with 2SC and near CFL; with a 3P2 gap near 5×10^8 K their cooling curves pass through the observed temperatures of 3C58, Vela Jr., and Vela-like pulsars.

Renormalization-Group Invariant Parity-Doublet Model for Nuclear and Neutron-Star Matter
A renormalization-group invariant mean-field treatment of the Parity-Doublet Model is developed that consistently includes baryonic vacuum fluctuations and is used to study chiral symmetry restoration in two-flavor nu...

Renormalization-Group Invariant Parity-Doublet Model for Nuclear and Neutron-Star Matter
Including baryonic vacuum fluctuations in the parity-doublet model through an RG-invariant mean-field scheme moves the chiral transition to higher densities and turns it into a smooth crossover for most values of the ...

Resolution-matched nuclear geometry and the nucleon-size ambiguity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions
The strong nucleon-width dependence of the Pb+Pb hadronic cross section is a geometric-inflation artifact; with the folded density fixed, σ_AA is width-insensitive and can constrain the 208Pb neutron skin to Δr_np ∈ [...

Quantifying the Information Gain from Future High-Precision Radius Measurements for Identifying Twin Neutron Stars
The paper claims a radius precision of ~0.2 km is enough to extract most Bayesian information for identifying twin neutron stars, but its own distinguishability and entropy analyses suggest notable gains remain down t...
