Title: Binary Neutron-Star Mergers with a Crossover Transition to Quark Matter

Journal Article · · Universe

This paper summarizes recent work on the possible gravitational-wave signal from binary neutron-star mergers in which there is a crossover transition to quark matter. Although this is a small piece of a much more complicated problem, we discuss how the power spectral density function may reveal the presence of a crossover transition to quark matter.
