DESCRIPTION:Speakers: James Lattimer (Stony Brook University)\n\nAbstract:
 \nNeutron stars represent extremes in almost every way imaginable. Aside f
 rom black holes\, they have the highest densities\, strongest gravitationa
 l fields\, fastest rotation rates\, highest-temperature superconductors\, 
 and largest magnetic fields of any objects. They have their origins in the
  aftermath of gravitational-collapse supernovae\, and may be the source of
  nearly half the elements heavier than iron\, the so-called r-process elem
 ents. Most neutron stars are observed as pulsars\, rapidly-rotating highly
  magnetized neutron stars. This talk will describe the structure\, birth\,
  evolution\, and deaths of neutron stars.\nSpeaker Bio:\nJames Lattimer is
  a Distinguished Professor of Physics & Astronomy at Stony Brook Universit
 y. He received his PhD from the University of Texas at Austin\, where his 
 1976 thesis famously proposed that r-process elements originate from decom
 pressing neutron star matter ejected from mergers—a prediction validated
  by GW170817. He produced the first open-source equations of state for sup
 ernovae and neutron star merger simulations\, and established the clear li
 nk between neutron star radii and the nuclear symmetry energy. He is a Fel
 low of the APS\, a member of NASA's NICER team\, and the recipient of the 
 Hans A. Bethe Prize.\nAlternative online link: https://meeting.tencent.com
