GWEOS-2019 PISA Workshop

Constraining the equation of state of matter at extreme densities with gravitational wave observations

February 25-26, 2019  
INFN Sez. Pisa, Dipartimento di Fisica dell'Università di Pisa, European Gravitational Observatory 
On-line Registration Deadline: February 22, 2019

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 we are expected to gain with third-generation GW observatories for fundamental physics of matter at extreme densities?

The second day of the workshop will be hosted by the European Gravitational Observatory. A free service transport from Pisa to EGO and back will be available. At the end of the workshop it will be possible to visit VIRGO.
