Neutron Star Modeling
To model neutron stars, we must first understand their stellar structure. This project uses mathematical and numerical methods to model neutron stars both in the classical Newtonian and relativistic frameworks.
Highlights:
- MATLAB codebase to compute neutron star properties.
- Wrote a solver to compute Einstein’s field equations.
- Integrated a custom Runge-Kutta algorithm to solve the relativistic differential equations.
- Computed physical properties such as mass, radii, pressure, and density profiles of a neutron star.
- Performed a statistical analysis on neutron star deformation.
- Fully multithreaded using MATLAB’s Parallel Computing Toolbox.
- Results published in a peer-reviewed article.
