Abstract
In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and
Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron
star cores host an extreme density regime which cannot be replicated in a
terrestrial laboratory. The tightest statistical constraints on the dense
matter equation of state will come from pulse profile modelling of
accretion-powered pulsars, burst oscillation sources, and rotation-powered
pulsars. Additional constraints will derive from spin measurements, burst
spectra, and properties of the accretion flows in the vicinity of the neutron
star. Under development by an international Consortium led by the Institute of
High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science, the eXTP mission is
expected to be launched in the mid 2020s.
