Gravitational waves from neutron stars and the nuclear equation of state

When?

Tuesday 18 October 2011, 14:00

Where?

30 BB 03 Physics Seminar Room

Open to:

Students, Staff

Speaker:

Ian Jones, University of Southampton

Neutron stars are ready-made laboratories offering us the prospect of probing the behavior of matter at extremes of density, pressure, temperature, gravitational field strength, and rotation rate.   In this talk I will describe how astronomical observations are enabling us to look inside these objects, allowing us to examine the nuclear equation of state in regimes inaccessible to terrestrial experimenters.
