The recent measurement of the Shapiro delay in the radio pulsar PSR J1614-2230 yielded a mass of 1.97 +/- 0.04 M_sun, making it the most massive pulsar known to date. Its mass is high enough that, even without an accompanying measurement of the stellar radius, it has a strong impact on our understanding of nuclear matter, gamma-ray bursts, and the generation of gravitational waves from coalescing neutron stars. This single high mass value indicates that a transition to quark matter in neutron-star cores can occur at densities comparable to the nuclear saturation density only if the quarks are strongly interacting and are color superconducting. We further show that a high maximum neutron-star mass is required if short duration gamma-ray bursts are powered by coalescing neutron stars and, therefore, this mechanism becomes viable in the light of the recent measurement. Finally, we argue that the low-frequency (<= 500 Hz) gravitational waves emitted during the final stages of neutron-star coalescence encode the properties of the equation of state because neutron stars consistent with this measurement cannot be centrally condensed. This will facilitate the measurement of the neutron star equation of state with Advanced LIGO/Virgo.

Untangling the interplay of the Equation-of-State and the Collision Term towards the generation of Directed and Elliptic Flow at intermediate energies
In UrQMD simulations of Au+Au at SIS18/SIS100 energies, the final midrapidity elliptic flow is generated late by the mean-field potential during the breakup of a matter bridge, not by early squeeze-out or spectator shadowing.

Inferring neutron-star Love-Q relations from gravitational waves in the hierarchical Bayesian framework
Hierarchical Bayesian inference on 20 high-SNR simulated binary neutron star events shows a linear lnΛ-lnQ relation suffices and constrains dynamical Chern-Simons gravity length scale to ≤10 km.

Compact star and compact star matter properties from a baryonic extended linear sigma model with explicit chiral symmetry breaking
Tuning the πN sigma term to about -600 MeV (or incompressibility to ~500 MeV) lets one RMF model match neutron-star observations, but the tuning is fitting, not prediction.

Systematic study of flow of protons and light clusters in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions with momentum-dependent potentials
PHQMD simulations with momentum-dependent potentials show that a soft momentum-dependent EoS calibrated to pA data reproduces experimental proton and cluster flows at midrapidity better than static EoS variants, while...

Chaotic Imprints in Gravitational Waves from Conformal-Anomaly-Corrected Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals
Gravitational-wave imprints are computed for trapped orbits in a conformal-anomaly-corrected black hole spacetime, but the chaotic motion is produced by an external harmonic potential rather than the anomaly itself.

Study on the equation-of-state with light clusters and hypernuclei
A review of transport-model constraints on the nuclear equation of state from flow of protons, light clusters, and hypernuclei, concluding that soft momentum-dependent potentials fit few-GeV data best.
