Afternoon Discussion

During afternoon discussion, some of the topics which were covered included the following.

Flow measurments. Danielewicz et al 2002 Science 298, 1592. K=167-210.

Mass, Radius and Temperature. Sanjay Reddy would like multiple measurements of compact object mass (to 10%), radius (10%) and the temperature.

Multi-object Monte Carlo. Ed Brown showed the recent analysis results of himself and Steiner, in which measurements of RXJ 1856, three globular cluster qLMXBs, are all used to constrain the dEOS.


Quark Matter Star Observables. Predictable observables: two branches in the mass radius realtionship of compact stars: there is the Hadronic branch, and quark star branch, and these are separated by about 2 km in radius, which means that radius measurements of precision better than 0.5 km are important.


Pasta Phases: how are we going to detect them? Nobody seems to know.
