SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Jocelyn Read from California State University 
 Fullerton will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The presentation 
 is titled "Gravitational-wave observations 
 and the physics of dense matter."\n
 \n
 The abstract 
 is as follows:\n
 \n
 Astronomical observations 
 of neutron stars inform our understanding 
 of matter at the highest densities. Already, 
 we have used the gravitational-wave data of 
 GW170817 - the first signal from merging neutron 
 stars - to constrain the equation of state 
 of dense matter in neutron stars. More recently, 
 the new heavy neutron-star merger GW190425 
 has indicated that the gravitational-wave 
 population may include heavier stars not previously 
 observed as galactic binaries. As the 
 mass of the components increases, higher densities 
 of neutron-star matter play a role in 
 the orbital dynamics. I will discuss current 
 methods being used to explore the effect of 
 tidal interactions on the neutron-star coalescence 
 and then translating tidal information 
 from the signal into matter properties in the 
 component stars. I will discuss how these results 
 fit with other neutron-star observations, 
 outline prospects of learning about matter 
 in the current Advanced-detector era, and extrapolate 
 to the potential next-generation gravitational-wave 
 observatories have to map the 
 phase diagram of dense neutron-rich matter.\n\n
