Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur invites applications from Indian nationals only for Sponsored Research Project Position purely on a contract basis.
Position: Research Associate-I (One)
Principal Investigator: Prof. Monika Sinha
Title of the Project: Dense matter inside the astrophysical compact objects consistent with gravitational-wave observations
Job description: Research in Astrophysics of compact stellar objects
Brief description of Project: Compact astrophysical objects are unique laboratories to probe matter at super-nuclear density. The project aims to discuss the observational constraints on the equations of state (EoS) of highly dense matter inside compact objects and hence to narrow down the possible EoSs and the parameter space within a limited number of EoSs. The aim is to study all possibilities in light of recent astrophysical observations. Our aim is to fix the parameterizations of EoSs making the matter compatible with both the nuclear physics experimental and astrophysical observational data. There are possibilities of more than one family of compact objects. The plan is to explore this possibility with the so far available astrophysical data. In that context the project plan is to study the neutron star matter with inclusion of dark matter and its consequences in the astrophysical observations. One rich area of cultivation is to comprehend the effects of neutrinos in dense matter composition and its consequences on BNS or supernova dynamics. In order to do that it is very crucial to study the hot dense matter. Consequently, the plan is to explore the hot dense matter within newly obtained experimental and observational data. In addition, the different non-radial oscillatory model of star fluid which may generate GWs will be studied.
