The Role of Baryon Structure in Neutron Stars

Nuclear Theory 2022-01-28 v1

Abstract

Understanding the equation of state of dense nuclear matter is a fundamental challenge for nuclear physics. It is especially timely and interesting challenge as we have reached a period where neutron stars, which contain the most dense nuclear matter in the Universe, are now being studied in completely new ways, from gravitational waves to satellite based telescopes. We review the theoretical approaches to calculating this equation of state which involve a change in the structure of the baryons.
