The Thermal Index of Neutron-star Matter in the Virial Approximation
Motivated by gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron-star mergers, we study the thermal index of low-density, high-temperature dense matter. We use the virial expansion to account for nuclear interaction effects. We focus on the region of validity of the expansion, which reaches 10 ^−3 fm...
