Building Bridges and Ladders in Astrophysics: Theory and Experiment Inform the Equation of State

Caption

The rungs in the density ladder encapsulate theoretical, experimental, and observational methods. Each of these methods probes the equation of state at different densities, thereby creating a “density ladder” that aims to connect the various rungs.
