The idea of the workshop is to put together physicists with competences in gravitational waves, nuclear physics and neutron star physics to create a bridge between these communities and to foster future collaborations.
A large amount of time is allocated for discussions, and the style of the communications should be open to dialogue. Here is a list of issues we aim to discuss:
-
What kind of constraints on the equation of state (EOS) of matter at very high densities are allowed by the present and future GW detector sensitivities?
-
What are the most up to date theoretical models for the EOS?
-
Can neutron stars sustain long-lived large quadrupolar deformations?
-
What is the current state of the art for numerical simulations?
-
What are the more urgent theoretical challenges?
-
What are the most relevant analysis limitations?
-
How can we bring together GW and EM constraints?
-
What do we expect to gain with third-generation GW observatories for fundamental physics of matter at extreme densities?
Foreseen talks are on invitation only, but registration is open to everyone interested (within a numerical limit). Registrants are welcome to participate to the discussions.
