We investigate asymmetric nuclear matter with two- and three-nucleon interactions based on chiral effective field theory, where three-body forces are fit only to light nuclei. Focusing on neutron-rich matter, we calculate the energy for different proton fractions and include estimates of the theoretical uncertainty. We use our ab-initio results to test the quadratic expansion around symmetric matter with the symmetry energy term, and confirm its validity for highly asymmetric systems. Our calculations are in remarkable agreement with an empirical parametrization for the energy density. These findings are very useful for astrophysical applications and for developing new equations of state.

    A redefinition of the symmetry energy expansion that incorporates finite strangeness consistent with SU(3) flavor symmetry and remains valid beyond typical neutron-star central densities.

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    The slope of the high-density sound-speed curve shifts the post-merger gravitational-wave peak frequency and ejecta mass, and that peak frequency partially correlates with an integrated 'intrinsic tidal response' — bu...
