By mid-2019, the promising results of the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR mission (NICER) on the dense matter equation of state will be available. Around that time, run O3 of the LIGO/Virgo collaboration will be in progress (or completed) with several expected new NS-NS mergers discoveries. </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">This Special Session aims at discussing recent results of the various observational methods giving access to the dense matter properties: gravitational waves from neutron star mergers (LIGO/Virgo), the NICER mission, thermal emission from the surface of neutron stars, and other existing methods. The theoretical modelling of the dense matter equation of state can also be discussed in light of these new results. Finally, some time will be dedicated for the future of the field, in particular how future missions/experiments will provide the next generations constraints for the better understanding of the dense matter equation of state.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><b class="">Programme</b>:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">We solicit contributions on the following methods providing constraints on the dense matter equation of state:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Gravitational waves signals from NS-NS mergers</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Results from the NICER Mission and other light-curve modelling techniques.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Thermal emission from neutron stars (Quiescent LMXBs, INSs, CCOs)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Type I X-ray bursts</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Mass measurements of neutron stars</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Moment of inertia measurements</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""> - Experimental measurements</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">as well as expected constraints from future experiments and observatories.</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><b class="">Invited Speakers</b>:</span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class=""><i class="">To be announced</i></span></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><b class="">Registrations</b>:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">Registrations are already open (early-bird deadline on Feb. 10th)</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">and the online form can be found on the EWASS2019 webpage:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><a href="https://eas.unige.ch//EWASS/registration.jsp" class="">https://eas.unige.ch//EWASS/registration.jsp</a></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><b class="">Abstract submission</b>:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">The deadline for abstract submission is 3 March 2019</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><a href="https://eas.unige.ch//EWASS/abstract_submission.jsp" class="">https://eas.unige.ch//EWASS/abstract_submission.jsp</a></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><b class="">Scientific organisers</b>:</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class="">Sebastien Guillot (IRAP), Fiorella Burgio (INFN Catania), Alessandro Drago (U Ferrara), Mark Alford (U Wash.
