Properties and Dynamics of Neutron Stars and Proto-Neutron Stars

Based on your expertise, we would like to invite you to submit a contribution to the upcoming Special Issue of Universe entitled “Properties and Dynamics of Neutron Stars and Proto-Neutron Stars”.

Following new developments in measurements of gravitational waves from neutron-star mergers and modification or construction of particle colliders to reach larger densities, we are entering a new era, in which we can for the first time begin to understand dense and hot matter. This, together with future supernova explosion data, will provide us for the first time with the opportunity to have truly multimessenger data on hot and dense matter, which is to some extent similar to the matter present in the core of proto-neutron stars.

This Special Issue focuses on the theory necessary to understand the present data and data to come in the future. It includes state-of-the-art theorical models that describe dense and hot matter and dynamical stellar simulations that make use of them, with the ultimate goal of determining which degrees of freedom are relevant under these conditions and how they affect the matter equation of state and stellar evolution.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
