- Network in Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar
- Signature of a quark-hadron phase transition from g-mode oscillations in neutron stars
- Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
- Place: Zoom
- Speaker: Prashanth Jaikumar, California State University Long Beach
- Abstract: Neutron stars contain matter at extremely high density and gravitational waves from neutron stars can help us discover new forms of matter. I will present my recent work on computing the adiabatic sound speed in neutron stars and its application to g-mode oscillations as a promising signature of a mixed phase. I will also discuss estimates of g-mode damping in neutron/quark matter.
