Although the state of matter at densities around and below the nuclear saturation density is reasonably well understood and constrained by theory and experiments, the state of matter at higher densities can only be constrained by astrophysical observations. In the last 10 years, substantial advances have been made in determining various properties of neutron stars through the observation …
The objective of this project to research the role of detailed models for the equation of state of dense and/or hot matter on various phenomena associated with neutron stars and the early universe. In particular, we plan to investigate the structure and evolution of compact stars, compact star's oscillations, and cosmological phase transitions. (AU)
In this project we propose the theoretical and numerical research of various astrophysical phenomena, most of them related to neutron stars. In particular, we intend to investigate the following topics: the structure and evolution of compact stars, bursts of gamma radiation (especially short GRBs and SGRs), oscillations of compact stars, magnetic fields and superconductivity in compact st…
In this undergraduate research project the student will apply the knowledge acquired in previous studies in the analyses of the universal relations (independent of the equation of state) obtained recently for neutron stars. The I-Love-Q relation establishes the dependence between the moment of inertia, the Love number and the quadrupole moment as functions of the compactness of the star, …
The objective of this project is to investigate non-radial oscillations of hybrid compact stars taking into account the role of rapid and slow phase conversions at the quark-hadron interface. We will focus first on calculations within the Cowling approximation, and then we will employ the full set of relativistic equations governing the quasi-normal modes of static compact stars. We will …
We propose a multidisciplinary project where the student should investigate the non-radial oscillations of neutron stars. For this, the student must first conduct introductory studies on gravitational waves, the theory of stellar oscillations, and numerical methods of integration of differential equations. After this first phase, the student should develop a computer code to solve the osc…

Within the present project, we will analyze the quasi-normal modes of compact stars using an equation of state which has been obtained within non-relativistic many-body theory, using an updated and improved version of the effective interaction based on the Argonne-Urbana nuclear Hamiltonian, derived using the formalism of correlated basis functions and the cluster expansion technique. Th…
We propose a year long postdoctoral visit to the University of Southampton in order to interact with Prof. Nils Andersson on quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in isolated neutron stars as axial (shear, torsional) perturbations and the constraints this brings to compact stellar models. Special attention will be paid to the imprints and byproducts of microphysical aspects of volumes and su…
We propose to investigate the physical processes occurring during the transition from nuclear matter to quark superconducting matter in the course of formation of neutron stars and the observational signatures expected from this transition. Typical conditions of proto-neutron star birth, such as finite nuclear strangeness, finite temperature and neutrino trapping are to be included self-c…
