High order finite-difference or spectral methods are typically problematic in approximating a function with a jump discontinuity. Some common remedies come with a cost in accuracy near discontinuities, or in computational ...

The properties of neutron star matter above nuclear density are not precisely known. Gravitational waves emitted from binary neutron stars during their late stages of inspiral and merger contain imprints of the neutron-star ...

Gravitational wave observations can potentially measure properties of neutron star equations of state by measuring departures from the point-particle limit of the gravitational waveform produced in the late inspiral of a ...
