Title:	Constraining the EOS of Dense Matter and the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction from Neutron Star Observations
Speaker:	Dr. Andrew Steiner
Institute:	University of Washington
Date:	Friday, June 21, 2013
Time:	2:00pm EST
Place:	Nieuwland Science Hall, Room 124
Abstract: Neutron stars provide an exciting laboratory for the physics of matter at extreme densities. In particular, neutron star mass and radius measurements are providing novel constraints on the nuclear symmetry energy, the properties of neutron-rich nuclei, the nucleon-nucleon interaction, and the equation of state of dense matter. I will review these radius measurements and their systematic and statistical uncertainties and show how these constraints arise from a Bayesian analysis of the data. Radius observations are not yet sufficient to determine the composition of the neutron star core, and I will describe a handful of other types of neutron star observations which have interesting connections to nuclear physics and the EOS of dense matter.
