Description
The neutron star interior reaches ultra-high densities with its composition details unknown. Gravitational wave emissions from neutron stars are promising probes that can help reveal novel phases of dense matter. In this talk, I will discuss the distinct behaviors of the adiabatic and equilibrium sound speeds in various theoretical models of the equation of state (EoS) for neutron-star matter, their connections to the principle g-mode oscillation, as well as prospects and challenges to identify quark matter cores with next-generation detectors.
