Speaker: Richard R. Silbar (T-16)

Neutron Stars for Undergraduates, Part II

This is a longer version of the NPP Tea that I gave last January. I'll describe a project to understand the physics of the structure of compact stars that would make, for example, a nice senior thesis topic for a physics major. This version of the talk will, in contrast to the first, include the effects of a simple but instructive nuclear equation of state.
