Modelling compact stars is a complex task which depends on many ingredients, among others the properties of dense matter. In this talk I will discuss models for the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars and compact star mergers. Such EoS models have to cover large ranges in baryon number density, temperature and isospin...

The mass and radius of neutron star (NS) in the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) can be measured simultaneously when the observed lightcurve and spectrum show the photospheric radial expansion (PRE). Precise measurements require the distance to the target, information on the radiating surface, and the composition of accreted material. Future observations with large ground-based telescopes such as...

If an astrophysical environment is hot enough (greater than approximately 0.5 MeV or so), screening in the associated nuclear reactions can be modifed by the presence of a relativistic electron-positron plasma. For non-zero electron chemical potentials, the effect is compounded as the relativistic Debye length in a plasma can be much lower than the classical Debye length. The screening is...

Dense nuclear matter is closely related to heavy ion collisions, nuclear structure, compact stars, etc.
We discuss the properties of isospin asymmetric dense matter in an extended parity doublet model [1]. We are especially interested in the role of the delta baryon in dense matter to investigate a transition to delta matter [2]. In addition, we are also interested in the origin of the...
