The gravitation group is inviting you to the following seminar:

A flexible model for neutron star equation of state from nuclear physics

Development in multi-messenger astronomy over the last few years has
opened new facets to the hadronic matter at densities beyond our terrestrial
reach. It provides new constraints to the theories of nuclear physics, where an
absolute energy density functional is desired from ab-initio mechanisms. Under
the realm of general relativity, there is a one-to-one correspondence between
