Course objectives
Students are introduced to properties of dense matter - matter that is typical for cores of compact stars
Learning outcomes
Student will understand behaviour of dense matter
Syllabus
  • The course is organised as follows
  • Equation of state, thermodynamical and statistical description of dense matter
  • Fermions at high densities
  • Boson at high densities
  • Description of matter at low temperature limit
  • Influence of temperature on equation of state of neutron star matter
