Nonparametric extensions of nuclear equations of state: Probing the breakdown scale of relativistic mean-field theory Open
Phenomenological calculations of the properties of dense matter, such as relativistic mean-field theories, represent a pathway to predicting the microscopic and macroscopic properties of neutron stars. However, such theories do not generic…

Tabulated equations of state from models informed by chiral effective field theory Open
We construct four equation of state (EoS) tables, tabulated over a range of temperatures, densities, and charge fractions, relevant for neutron star applications such as simulations of neutron star mergers. The EoS are computed from a rela…

Nuclear and hybrid equations of state in light of the low-mass compact star in HESS J1731-347 Open
Here, we sample over 500 relativistic mean-field theories constrained by chiral effective-field theory and properties of isospin-symmetric nuclear matter and test them against known stellar structure constraints. This includes a recent mas…

Relativistic mean-field theories for neutron-star physics based on chiral effective field theory Open
We describe and implement a procedure for determining the couplings of a relativistic mean-field theory (RMFT) that is optimized for application to neutron star phenomenology. In the standard RMFT approach, the couplings are constrained by…
