Neutron Star Interiors and the Equation of State of Superdense Matter

Weber, F., Negreiros, R., Rosenfield, P.

Understand

Neutron stars contain matter in one of the densest forms found in the Universe.

This feature, together with the unprecedented progress in observational astrophysics, makes such stars superb astrophysical laboratories for a broad range of exciting physical studies.
This paper gives an overview of the phases of dense matter predicted to make their appearance in the cores of neutron stars.
Particular emphasis is put on the role of strangeness.
