Neutron Star Structure and the Neutron Radius of 208Pb
read the original abstract
We study relationships between the neutron-rich skin of a heavy nucleus and the properties of neutron-star crusts. Relativistic effective field theories with a thicker neutron skin in $^{208}$Pb have a larger electron fraction and a lower liquid-to-solid transition density for neutron-rich matter. These properties are determined by the density dependence of the symmetry energy which we vary by adding nonlinear couplings between isoscalar and isovector mesons. An accurate measurement of the neutron radius in $^{208}$Pb---via parity violating electron scattering---may have important implications for the structure of neutron stars.

A self-consistent single-fluid framework for neutron stars admixed with mirror dark matter
Mirror dark matter admixture via mutual mean-field shifts softens the nuclear EOS, raises central densities, lowers maximum masses, and moves the direct Urca onset to higher or lower masses depending on symmetry-energ...

A self-consistent Higgs-portal framework for dark matter--admixed neutron stars: Collider-motivated benchmarks meet multimessenger constraints
Adding heavy dark matter to neutron stars via nχ=FχnB softens the equation of state and lowers the maximum mass, but the vector interaction invoked is numerically negligible.

Can average speed of sound and thermodynamic response functions signal the exotic phases in neutron star cores?
Average speed of sound, its logarithmic derivative, and thermodynamic response functions distinguish sharp-interface versus mixed-phase hadron-quark transitions inside hybrid neutron stars.

The crust of dark-matter admixed neutron stars: bulk properties and torsional oscillations
Dark matter admixed neutron stars show up to 12% thinner crusts and higher torsional oscillation frequencies than pure neutron stars when dark matter forms a core, with analytical formulas matching numerics at sub-per...

Isentropic thermodynamics across the hadron-quark mixed phase in a two-phase model with a PNJL quark description
In a two-phase RMF+PNJL model, isentropic trajectories through the hadron-quark mixed phase heat at low entropy per baryon and cool near the critical end point, with entropy-dependent speed-of-sound structures.
