Constraining gravity with hadron physics: neutron stars, modified gravity and gravitational waves

Constraining gravity with hadron physics: neutron stars, modified gravity and gravitational waves

The finding of Gravitational Waves (GW) by the aLIGO scientific and VIRGO collaborations opens opportunities to better test and understand strong interactions, both nuclear-hadronic and gravitational. Assuming General Relativity holds, one can constrain hadron physics at a neutron star. But precise...
