We estimate that the moment of inertia of star A in the recently discovered double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 may be determined after a few years of observation to something like 10% accuracy. This would enable accurate estimates of the radius of the star and the presure of matter in the vicinity of 1 to 2 times the nuclear saturation density, which would in turn provide strong constraints on the equation of state of neutron stars and the physics of their interiors.

  1. 3D simulations of a complete convective silicon shell burning phase

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A 3D simulation of a convective silicon-burning shell in a 14 solar mass star burns out about 800 s earlier than a 1D MESA model, suggesting weaker convective boundary mixing and a convective-reactive energy profile.

  2. Guitar Nebula: extreme accelerator in extreme environment

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Guitar nebula's pulsar appears to accelerate electrons to within ~3/4 of the theoretical maximum potential, and its brightness is best explained by the pulsar crossing an old supernova remnant's compressed, magnet...

  3. Slowly rotating condensate dark stars beyond the mean-field approximation

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The Lee-Huang-Yang beyond-mean-field correction measurably reduces the dimensionless moment of inertia of slowly rotating BEC dark stars at fixed compactness while preserving the I-Love universal relation to within a ...

  4. Sensitivity of the Neutron Star Equation of State Inferences to Mass and Radius Measurements

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Theoretical inputs and the 2 solar mass lower limit dominate neutron star equation of state constraints across most densities, while radius data refines low densities and higher masses affect wider ranges.

  5. Investigating Universal Relations in Compact Stars featuring $\Delta-$Admixed Exotic Dense Matter

    astro-ph.HE 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Delta-admixed hypernuclear stars follow the I-Love-Q universal relations and a tight f-mode tidal relation, while the p-mode relation is much more composition-sensitive.

  6. Probing Neutron Star Interiors and the Properties of Cold Ultra-dense Matter with the SKAO

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    SKAO's sensitivity, surveys and sub-arraying will deliver tighter NS mass, MoI, spin, glitch and precession constraints that, with X-ray and GW data, probe cold ultra-dense matter.
