The 626. Wilhelm and Else Heraeus Seminar “Neutron Stars: A Cosmic Laboratory for Matter under Extreme Conditions” focuses on key questions in modern neutron star physics both from a theoretical as well as from an observational perspective. It provides a forum for scientific exchange between the two communities with focus on state-of-the-art results and future opportunities.
Topics to be discussed include:
- NS masses and radii
- Properties of the inner crust
- Superfluidity, neutrino cooling and rotational dynamics
- The role of hyperons and baryonic resonances in the high-density EOS
- Properties of quark matter in the inner core
- r-modes and viscosities
- NS mergers and GWs
- X-ray binaries
- Quasi-periodic oscillations
- Pulse profile modeling (from isolated and accreting NS)
- NS seismology
The Wilhelm and Else Heraeus-Foundation generously provides funds for the accommodation of all participants and travel expenses for the invited speakers.
The application deadline is September 23, 2016
