Cover Story: The paper "Investigating the Poor Match among Different Precessing Gravitational Waveforms" sheds light on the differences among gravitational waveforms generated by the same black hole binary coalescence. It also identifies some of the key factors generating these differences. The figure below shows the match values ℳ for two waveforms in the restricted parameter spaces [m, ν], [m, χ1] and [ν, χ1] from left to right (the three rows representing SpinTaylorT4-SpinDominatedWf, SpinDominatedWf-SEOBNRv3, SpinTaylorT4-SEOBNRv3 matches).

Bose-Einstein correlations (BECs) of identical hadrons reveal information about hadron creation from the strongly interacting matter formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The measurement of three-particle correlations may in particular sh...

Investigating the Poor Match among Different Precessing Gravitational Waveforms

  • Márton Tápai,
  • Viktória Pintér,
  • Tamás Tarjányi,
  • Zoltán Keresztes and
  • László Árpád Gergely

The sixfold direct detection of gravitational waves opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy. All of these gravitational waves were emitted by black hole or neutron star binaries. The determination of the parameters characterizing compact binar...

We investigate the comprehensive geodesic structure of a spherically symmetric, static charged regular Ayón-Beato and García black hole (BH). We derive the equation of innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), marginally bound circular orbit (MBCO) and...

Anomalous Electromagnetic Transport in Compact Stars

  • Efrain J. Ferrer and
  • Vivian De la Incera

We study the anomalous electromagnetic transport properties of a quark-matter phase that can be realized in the presence of a magnetic field in the low-temperature/moderate-high-density region of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase map. In this so...

The fixed-target NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) seeks to find the critical point (CR) of strongly interacting matter as well as the properties of the onset of deconfinement. The experiment provides a scan of measurem...

Non-Radial Oscillation Modes of Superfluid Neutron Stars Modeled with CompOSE

  • Prashanth Jaikumar,
  • Thomas Klähn and
  • Raphael Monroy

We compute the principal non-radial oscillation mode frequencies of Neutron Stars described with a Skyrme-like Equation of State (EoS), taking into account the possibility of neutron and proton superfluidity. Using the CompOSE database and interpolat...

The Merger of Two Compact Stars: A Tool for Dense Matter Nuclear Physics

  • Alessandro Drago,
  • Giuseppe Pagliara,
  • Sergei B. Popov,
  • Silvia Traversi and
  • Grzegorz Wiktorowicz

We discuss the different signals, in gravitational and electromagnetic waves, emitted during the merger of two compact stars. We will focus in particular on the possible contraints that those signals can provide on the equation of state of dense matt...

Hadron–Quark Combustion as a Nonlinear, Dynamical System

  • Amir Ouyed,
  • Rachid Ouyed and
  • Prashanth Jaikumar

The hadron–quark combustion front is a system that couples various processes, such as chemical reactions, hydrodynamics, diffusion, and neutrino transport. Previous numerical work has shown that this system is very nonlinear, and can be very sensitiv...

In this paper we introduce a polyhedron algorithm that has been developed for finding space groups. In order to demonstrate the problem and the main steps of the algorithm, we consider some regular plane tilings in our examples, and then we generaliz...

Rotating Quark Stars in General Relativity

  • Enping Zhou,
  • Antonios Tsokaros,
  • Luciano Rezzolla,
  • Renxin Xu and
  • Kōji Uryū

We have built quasi-equilibrium models for uniformly rotating quark stars in general relativity. The conformal flatness approximation is employed and the Compact Object CALculator (cocal) code is extended to treat rotating stars with surface density...

Asymptotic Charges at Null Infinity in Any Dimension

  • Andrea Campoleoni,
  • Dario Francia and
  • Carlo Heissenberg

We analyse the conservation laws associated with large gauge transformations of massless fields in Minkowski space. Our aim is to highlight the interplay between boundary conditions and finiteness of the asymptotically conserved charges in any space-...

We construct a dense matter equation of state (EoS) starting from a hadronic density dependent relativistic mean-field model with a DD2 parametrization including the excluded volume corrections at low densities. The high density part is given by a Na...

Super Bundles

  • Claudio Carmeli,
  • Rita Fioresi and
  • V. S. Varadarajan

In this paper we give a brief account of the main aspects of the theory of associated and principal super bundles. As an application, we review the Borel-Weil-Bott Theorem in the super setting, and some results on projective embeddings of homogeneous...

Light-Like Shockwaves in Scalar-Tensor Theories

  • Bence Racskó and
  • László Árpád Gergely

27 February 2018

Both electromagnetic shock-waves and gravitational waves propagate with the speed of light. If they carry significant energy-momentum, this will change the properties of the space-time they propagate through. This can be described in terms of the jun...

Many Aspects of Magnetic Fields in Neutron Stars

  • Rodrigo Negreiros,
  • Cristian Bernal,
  • Veronica Dexheimer and
  • Orlenys Troconis

26 February 2018

In this work, we explore different aspects in which strong magnetic fields play a role in the composition, structure and evolution of neutron stars. More specifically, we discuss (i) how strong magnetic fields change the equation of state of dense ma...
