Beta Equilibrium under Neutron Star Merger Conditions

Beta Equilibrium under Neutron Star Merger Conditions

We calculate the nonzero-temperature correction to the beta equilibrium condition in nuclear matter under neutron star merger conditions, in the temperature range 1mEv < <i>T</i> ≲ 5 mEv. We improve on previous work using a consistent description of nuclear matter based on the IUF and...
