We address the question of the role of low-energy nuclear physics data in constraining neutron star global properties, e.g., masses, radii, angular momentum, and tidal deformability, in the absence of a phase transition in dense matter. To…
Neutron stars, produced at the death of massive stars, are often regarded as giant neutron-rich nuclei. This picture is especially relevant for low-mass (below about solar mass) neutron stars, where non-nucleonic components are not expected…
While QCD appears not to be accurately solvable in the regime of interest for neutron star physics, microscopic calculations are feasible at both low and very high densities. In this work, we propose using the most realistic calculations in…

Neutron-star radii provide useful information on the equation of state of neutron rich matter. Particularly interesting is the density dependence of the equation of state (EOS). For example, the softening of the EOS at high density, where…
