abstract
Despite its importance to our understanding of physics at supranuclear densities, the equation of state (EoS) of matter deep within neutron stars remains poorly understood. Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are among the most useful astrophysical objects in the Universe for testing fundamental physics, and place some of the most stringent constraints on this high-density EoS. Pulsar timing - the process of accounting for every rotation of a pulsar over long time periods - can precisely measure a wide variety of physical phenomena, including those that allow the measurement of the masses of the components of a pulsar binary system (Lorimer & Kramer 2005). One of these, called relativistic Shapiro delay (Shapiro 1964), can yield precise masses for both an MSP and its companion; however, it is only easily observed in a small subset of high-precision, highly inclined (nearly edge-on) binary pulsar systems. By combining data from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) 12.5-year data set with recent orbital-phase-specific observations using the Green Bank Telescope, we have measured the mass of the MSP J0740+6620 to be $\mathbf{2.14^{+0.10}_{-0.09}}$ solar masses (68.3% credibility interval; 95.4% credibility interval is $\mathbf{2.14^{+0.20}_{-0.18}}$ solar masses). It is highly likely to be the most massive neutron star yet observed, and serves as a strong constraint on the neutron star interior EoS.

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.

Moat hyperons in cold neutron stars
Hyperons in the NLD model can occupy a finite-momentum 'moat' band, and properly accounting for this shifts the predicted composition of neutron star matter at high densities.

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.

Fully general relativistic description of rapidly-rotating axially-symmetric neutron stars for constraining nuclear matter equations of state
Fully relativistic KEH calculations with five Skyrme EoSs show rotation shifts neutron star mass-radius curves and suggest the empirical 716 Hz limit may exclude some low-mass configurations that are actually stable.
