[Faculty] Fwd: [CSRC-SDSU COLLOQUIUM]: Quark Deconfinement in Neutron Stars

[Jose Castillo]

*DATE*:  Friday, September 2nd, 2016

*TITLE*:   Quark Deconfinement in Neutron Stars

*TIME*:  3:30 PM

*LOCATION*:  GMCS 324

*SPEAKER*:  Dr. Fridolin Weber. Professor of Physics at San Diego State
University.

*ABSTRACT*: Neutron stars are the remnants of massive stars that blew apart
in  supernova  explosions. Gravity compresses the matter in the cores of
such objects to densities that are several times higher than the  densities
inside of atomic nuclei.  At such enormous densities atoms themselves
collapse and neutrons and protons are squeezed so tightly together that
their quark contents may be released. In this talk, I will discuss the
astrophysical implications of this phase transition for neutron stars,
based on numerical state-of-the-art investigations.

*HOST*:  Dr. Calvin Johnson.
