Description
The heaviest neutron stars progressively tighten the constraints on the equation-of-state of strongly interacting, dense baryonic matter. Using the observational data base, results are presented of a detailed Bayes inference program, with focus on prerequisites and limitations for hypothetical phase transitions at the baryon densities realized in neutron star cores. Consequences for the possible structure and composition of matter under such conditions are discussed.
