Nuclear density functional theory provides a unified description of finite nuclei and bulk nuclear matter, and is widely used to model the neutron star equation of state. However, extrapolations to supra-saturation densities require a quantified treatment of uncertainties arising from parameter […]

Rotating non-axisymmetric neutron stars (NSs) are promising sources for continuous gravitational waves (CWs). Such CWs can, if detected, inform us about the internal structure and equation of state of NSs. Here, we present a narrowband search for CWs from known pulsars, for which an efficient and […]

We present results from directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from a sample of 15 nearby supernova remnants, likely hosting young neutron star candidates, using data from the first eight months of the fourth observing run (O4) of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration. The analysis […]

Precision tests of the Standard Model using $β$ decay have always relied on a careful choice of transition to minimize residual nuclear structure uncertainties. Following breakthroughs in nucleon-level radiative corrections in the last decade, however, corrections due to nuclear structure are once […]

Neutrino oscillations encode fundamental information about neutrino masses and mixing parameters, offering a unique window into physics beyond the Standard Model. Estimating these parameters from oscillation probability maps is, however, computationally challenging due to the maps' high […]

Nuclear metamodels - phenomenological parametrizations of the energy of nuclear matter - are convenient tools to explore the space of realistic neutron star configurations constrained by astrophysical and nuclear data. While much recent work has focused on composition-agnostic barotropic models, […]
