DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CENTRA/25/">
 Probing fundamental physics with neutron stars</a>\nby Hector O. Silva (Il
 linois U.\, Urbana) as part of CENTRA Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nNeutron stars
  are some of the most extreme objects in Nature. Their large masses (typic
 ally around 1.4 times that of the mass) combined with their small radii (t
 ypically around 12 km) result in interior densities that can exceed nuclea
 r saturation density\, above which exotic states of matter can arise.  Mor
 eover\, neutron stars are\, next to black holes\, the strongest gravitatio
 nal field sources known. These properties make neutron stars outstanding l
 aboratories to study both matter and gravity in situations out of reach in
  terrestrial and Solar System experiments. In this presentation\, I will d
 iscuss how recent of neutron star observations\, through both electromagne
 tic and gravitational waves\, are allowing us to improve our understanding
  of the internal composition of these stars and to even test Einstein's th
 eory of general relativity.\n
