Dr. Prashanth Jaikumar (Institute of Mathematical Sciences, CIT, India)

Astrophysics of dense quark matter

I will discuss the nature and possible consequences of phases of dense quark matter in neutron stars. After a brief summary of recent theoretical advances in this field, I will emphasize connections to observations of neutrino cooling, r-mode instabilities (gravitational waves) and heavy-element nucleosynthesis.
