商品描述
Over the last decade, astrophysical observations of neutron stars -- both as isolated and binary sources -- have paved the way for a deeper understanding of the structure and dynamics of matter beyond nuclear saturation density. The mapping between astrophysical observations and models of dense matter based on microscopic dynamics has been poorly investigated so far. However, the increased accuracy of present and forthcoming observations may be instrumental in resolving the degeneracy between the predictions of different equations of state. Astrophysical and laboratory probes have the potential to paint to a new coherent picture of nuclear matter -- and, more generally, strong interactions -- over the widest range of densities occurring in the Universe. This book provides a self-contained account of neutron star properties, microscopic nuclear dynamics and the recent observational developments in multimessenger astronomy. It also discusses the unprecedented possibilities to shed light on long standing and fundamental issues, such as the validity of the description of matter in terms of pointlike baryons and leptons and the appearance of deconfined quarks in the high density regime.
It will be of interest to researchers and advanced PhD students working in the fields of Astrophysics, Gravitational Physics, Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics.
Key Features:
- Reviews state-of-the-art theoretical and experimental developments
- Self-contained and cross-disciplinary
- While being devoted to a very lively and fast developing field, the book fundamentally addresses methodological issues. Therefore, it will not be subject to fast obsolescence.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在過去十年中，對中子星的天體物理觀測——無論是作為孤立源還是雙星系統——為深入理解超越核飽和密度的物質結構和動力學鋪平了道路。迄今為止，天體物理觀測與基於微觀動力學的密集物質模型之間的映射尚未得到充分研究。然而，當前和即將到來的觀測精度的提高可能對解決不同狀態方程預測之間的退化性問題具有重要作用。天體物理和實驗室探測有潛力描繪出宇宙中發生的最廣泛密度範圍內核物質——以及更一般的強相互作用——的新一致圖景。本書提供了中子星性質、微觀核動力學以及多信使天文學中最近觀測發展的自成體系的說明。它還討論了揭示長期存在的基本問題的前所未有的可能性，例如用點狀重子和輕子描述物質的有效性，以及在高密度範圍內出現的去束縛夸克。
本書將吸引在天體物理學、引力物理學、核物理學和粒子物理學領域工作的研究人員和高級博士生。
主要特點：
- 回顧最先進的理論和實驗發展
- 自成體系且跨學科
- 雖然專注於一個非常活躍且快速發展的領域，但本書根本上解決了方法論問題。因此，它不會迅速過時。
作者簡介
Omar Benhar is an INFN Emeritus Research Director, and has been teaching Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Electrodynamics and Structure of Compact Stars at "Sapienza" University of Rome for over twenty years. He has worked extensively in the United States, and since 2013 has served as an adjunct professor at the Center for Neutrino Physics of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Prof. Benhar has authored or co-authored three textbooks on Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Gauge Theories, and Structure and Dynamics of Compact Stars, and published more than one hundred scientific papers on the theory of many-particle systems, the structure of compact stars and the electroweak interactions of nuclei.
Alessandro Lovato is a physicist at Argonne National Laboratory and an INFN researcher in Trento. His research in theoretical nuclear physics focuses on consistently modeling the self-emerging properties of atomic nuclei and neutron-star matter in terms of the microscopic interactions among the constituent protons and neutrons. He has co-authored more than eighty scientific publications on the theory of many-particle systems, the structure of compact stars, and the electroweak interactions of nuclei. He is at the forefront of high-performance computing applied to solving the quantum many-body problem.
Andrea Maselli is an Associate Professor at the Gran Sasso Science Institute, in L'Aquila, where he teaches Gravitation and Cosmology and Physics of Black Hole. His research focuses on strong gravity, which plays a crucial role in many astrophysical phenomena involving black hole and neutron stars, representing natural laboratories to test fundamental physics. Prof. Maselli has co-authored more than eighty scientific papers on the modelling of black holes and neutron stars in General Relativity and extension thereof, their gravitational wave emission, and on tests of gravity in the strong filed regime. He is active in various collaborations aimed at developing next generation of gravitational wave detectors, such as the LISA satellite, the Einstein Telescope, and the Lunar Gravitational Wave Antenna.
Francesco Pannarale is an Associate Professor at "Sapienza" Univeristy of Rome, where he teaches Gravitational Waves, Compact Objects and Black Holes, Computing Methods for Physics, and Electromagnetism. His research interests are in gravitational-wave physics and multimessenger astronomy, and they range from modelling compact binary sources to data analysis. He has co-authored over one hundred and eighty scientific publications and was at the forefront of the joint observation of GW170817 and GRB 170817A. He is currently serving as co-chair of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Data Analysis Council.
