G05.00001: New Extraterrestrial Observations of the Dense Matter Equation of State Invited Speaker: Jocelyn Read Neutron stars host the densest stable matter in the universe. Accurately modeling their multi-messenger astrophysics relies on a detailed description of the equation of state above nuclear density. Astronomical observations, including binary pulsar dynamics, x-ray bursts and timing, and gravitational waves, can in turn be used to constrain the properties of this dense matter. I will present equation of state constraints from neutron-star merger observations by the LIGO and Virgo Scientific Collaborations, discuss how they complement other observations, and outline some future prospects connecting gravitational-wave astronomy with above-nuclear-density physics.

G05.00002: Hot Lattice QCD at Moderately Large Baryon Densities Invited Speaker: Swagato Mukherjee A brief overview of the status of hot-dense lattice QCD calculations at moderately large baryon densities will be provided. Recent hot-dense lattice QCD results on QCD transition, equation of state, various fluctuation related observables and their relevance to phenomenology of heavy-ion collision experiments will be discussed.

G05.00003: High Baryon Densities in Terrestrial Experiments Invited Speaker: Frank Geurts Over the past few decades a concerted effort has been taking place at several accelerator facilities to create a hot and dense state of QCD matter by colliding heavy ions at ultra-relativistic energies. Lattice QCD calculations suggest that at sufficiently high energies hadrons melt into their constituent quarks, thus forming a Quark Gluon Plasma. The versatility of these accelerators allows for a systematic scan through a wide range of collision species and energies. Model calculations suggest that such a scan provides access to regions of the QCD phase diagram where a first-order phase transition and/or a critical point are located. In this contribution, I will review recent results from SIS18 at GSI, the SPS at CERN and the Beam Energy Scan at RHIC at BNL as well as prospects for future studies at RHIC, FAIR, NICA, J-PARC and the SPS.
