Constraining the Equation of State with Moment of Inertia Measurements

We estimate that the moment of inertia of star A in the recently discovered double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039 may be determined after a few years of observation to something like 10% accuracy. This would enable accurate estimates of the radius of the star and the presure of matter in the vicinity of 1 to 2 times the nuclear saturation density, which would in turn provide strong constraints on the equation of state of neutron stars and the physics of their interiors.Comment: Submitted to ApJ, 4 figure

Writing Checks or Righting Wrongs: Election Funding and the Tort Decisions of the Ohio Supreme Court

This paper will try to address the court\u27s present and future course in tort law, with particular focus on products liability, malpractice, and employer tort liability. These are the most intriguing segments of modern tort law in Ohio. The paper concludes that stare decisis and the precedential accretion of the common law no longer seem to matter to the Ohio Supreme Court. Instead, the cacophony of a fractured court has imperiled predictability and imperiled the court\u27s national reputation. Instead, the topic of a prospective justice\u27s view of the tort system is unfortunately an early and frequent conversation in recruitment, selection, and funding of the candidates for the court. While tort law justice is not for sale in Ohio, its trends can be heavily influenced by the pervasive expense structure of supreme court electoral politics. Contrary to what television attack ads have claimed, justices\u27 individual votes are not for sale, but their policy outcomes can perhaps be more closely predicted as a result of the forces that control campaign finance in Ohio judicial elections
