C. J. Horowitz studies the physics of extremely dense stars, especially neutron stars and white dwarfs. Much of the work uses nuclear physics and computer simulations to understand the solid outer layers (crusts) of neutron stars, nuclear reactions inside compact stars, and how these objects might produce gravitational waves or shed light on dark matter.
