Description
Neutron stars are fascinating laboratories for strong gravity, multi-messenger astronomy and nuclear physics. In this talk, I will show how neutron star mergers can probe extreme states of matter, such as the appearance of hyperons at high densities and the deconfinement of quarks. I will also present how these effects are encoded in the high-frequency part of gravitational wave signals.
Finally, I will comment on the feasibility of using neutron star mergers to study the physics of neutrino-driven bulk viscosity.
