Abstract:
In the past few years many new observational data from gravitational wave detectors, X-ray satellites, and nuclear experiments have become available with increasingly better accuracy which greatly improved the global understanding of neutron-star physics. In this talk, I will give an overview of what we have learned about the equation of state for strongly-interacting matter at supra-nuclear densities, focusing on the latest progress in constraining its properties with astronomical and terrestrial probes, as well as advances in theory and modeling efforts needed to interpret these observations. Of great interest for nuclear and particle physics, neutron stars are at the heart of multi-messenger astronomy to address existing questions and also open new avenues for investigation.
Biography:
Dr. Sophia Han earned her Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2015. During 2015-2018, she was a postdoc at University of Tennessee Knoxville and a guest visitor at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Since 2018 she has been a fellow of the multi-institutional N3AS (Network for Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries) Collaboration led by UC Berkeley, working on properties of dense matter on the QCD phase diagram and neutron star physics.
