关于超大质量中子星的最小半径

On the minimum radius of very massive neutron stars

Sophia Han, Madappa Prakash

摘要:

NICER和钱德拉天文台在PSR J 1614 -2230和PSR J 0740 +6620中建立大质量中子星半径的前景,有可能将物质的状态方程(EoS)限制到远远超过质量为$\sim 1.4\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$的典型恒星的密度。在这项工作中,我们调查的半径之间的关系非常大质量的中子星的最大质量,$M_{\rm max}$,由致密物质EoS支持。将强子物质模型的结果与包含一阶强子到夸克相变的模型的结果进行对比。我们发现,$M_{\rm max}$的下限与大质量夸克半径的上限,用于排除太软的夸克物质,和$M_{\rm max}$的上限与大质量夸克半径的下限强烈不利于过渡到太硬的夸克物质出现在低密度。从未来的引力波事件的吸入双星的半径推断所发挥的补充作用也简要讨论。

英文摘要:

Prospects of establishing the radii of massive neutron stars in PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0740+6620 from NICER and Chandra observatories hold the potential to constrain the equation of state (EoS) of matter to densities well beyond those encountered in canonical stars of mass $\sim 1.4\,{\rm M}_{\odot}$. In this work, we investigate the relation between the radii of very massive neutron stars up to the maximum mass, $M_{\rm max}$, supported by dense matter EoSs. Results from models with hadronic matter are contrasted with those that include a first-order hadron-to-quark phase transition. We find that a lower bound on $M_{\rm max}$ with an upper bound on the radius of massive pulsars serves to rule out too soft quark matter, and an upper bound on $M_{\rm max}$ with a lower bound on the radius of massive pulsars strongly disfavors a transition into too-stiff quark matter appearing at low densities. The complementary role played by radius inferences from future gravitational wave events of inspiraling binary neutron stars is also briefly discussed.
