Constraints on the dense matter EOS from the measurements of PSR J 0737 - 3039 A moment of inertia and PSR J 0751 + 1807 mass

چکیده
The moment of inertia of the pulsar A in the neutron star binary J0737-3039 will soon be measurable through detailed measurements of the periastron advance. We present the calculation of the moment of inertia of neutron stars with the masses of the components of the binary J0737-3039 for a broad range of equations of state of dense matter and discuss the implications of such measurement for constraining the equation of state. An observational determination of the moment of inertia of the pulsar A in J0737-3039 with the accuracy of 10% shall narrow down considerably the range of viable equations of state. We also show that limits on maximal mass of a neutron star provide a complementary set of constraints on the properties of dense nuclear matter.

Constraining the Equation of State with Moment of Inertia Measurements
We estimate that the moment of inertia of star A in the recently discovered double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 may be determined after a few years of observation to something like 10% accuracy. This would enable accurate estimates of the radius of the star and the presure of matter in the vicinity of 1 to 2 times the nuclear saturation density, which would in turn provide strong constraints on...
متن کاملCompact star constraints on the high-density EoS
A new scheme for testing the nuclear matter (NM) equation of state (EoS) at high densities using constraints from compact star (CS) phenomenology is applied to neutron stars with a core of deconfined quark matter (QM). An acceptable EoS shall not to be in conflict with the mass measurement of 2.1 ± 0.2 M⊙ (1 σ level) for PSR J0751+1807 and the mass-radius relation deduced from the thermal emiss...
متن کاملThe Moment of Inertia of the Binary Pulsar J0737-3039a: Constraining the Nuclear Equation of State
We construct numerical models of the newly discovered binary pulsar J0737-3039A, both with a fully relativistic, uniformly rotating, equilibrium code that handles arbitrary spins and in the relativistic, slow-rotation approximation. We compare results for a representative sample of viable nuclear equations of state (EOS) that span three, qualitatively different, classes of models for the descri...
متن کاملThe Very Soft X - Ray Spectrum of the Double Pulsar System J 0737 − 3039
We present the results of an 80 ks ChandraACIS-S observation of the double pulsar system J0737−3039 performed on 2006 June. Furthermore, we report on spectral, spatial and timing analysis of the combined X-ray observations performed so far for this system. Fitting a total of∼ 1100 photons,we show that the X-ray spectrum of the J0737–3039 system is very soft, and not satisfactorily modeled by a ...
متن کاملModern compact star observations and the quark matter EoS
A hybrid equation of state (EoS) for dense matter is presented that satisfies phenomenological constraints from modern compact star (CS) observations which indicate high maximum masses (M ∼ 2M⊙) and large radii (R > 12 km). The corresponding isospin symmetric EoS is consistent with flow data analyses of heavy-ion collisions. The transition from nuclear to two-flavor color superconducting quark ...
