Resonant shattering flares as asteroseismic tests of chiral effective field theory
Chiral effective field theory (<a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><a:mrow><a:mi>χ</a:mi><a:mi>EFT</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math>) has proved to be a powerful microscopic framework for predicting the properties of neutron-rich nuclear matter with quantified theoretical uncertainties up to about twice the nuclear saturation density. Tests of <b:math xmlns:b="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><b:mrow><b:mi>χ</b:mi><b:mi>EFT</b:mi></b:mrow></b:math> predictions are typically performed at low densities using nuclear experiments, with neutron …
