Hydrodynamic simulations of neutron star mergers rely on the clear separation between the strong-interaction, weak-interaction, and hydrodynamic timescales. In this effective framework, weak Urca interactions are typically the slowest…
The existence of a dark baryon that mixes with the neutron leads to the possibility of neutron decay into a dark sector. Such dark decays have been studied as possibly relevant for the neutron decay anomaly and for their potential impacts…

We look at viscosity production in a universe consisting purely of leptons and photons. This is quite close to what the Universe actually look like when the temperature was between $10^{10}$ K and $10^{12}$ K ($1$ -- $100$ MeV). By taking…
We study the effect of a strong magnetic field on the properties of neutron stars with a quark-hadron phase transition. It is shown that the magnetic field prevents the appearance of a quark phase, enhances the leptonic fraction, decreases…
