Relativistic Mean-Field Theory and the High-Density Nuclear Equation of State.

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of high-density nuclear and neutron matter using a relativistic mean-field approximation to the nuclear matter energy functional were studied based on ideas of effective field theory.

A Quark - meson coupling model for nuclear and neutron matter

TL;DR: An explicit quark model, based on a mean field description of nonoverlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of σ, ω and ϱ mesons, is used to investigate the properties of both nuclear and neutron matter.

On Massive neutron cores

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the gravitational equilibrium of masses of neutrons, using the equation of state for a cold Fermi gas, and general relativity, and showed that for masses under 1/3, there are no static equilibrium solutions.

Static Solutions of Einstein's Field Equations for Spheres of Fluid

TL;DR: In this article, a method is developed for treating Einstein's field equations, applied to static spheres of fluid, in such a manner as to provide explicit solutions in terms of known analytic functions.

On Continued Gravitational Contraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the solutions of the gravitational field equations which describe the contraction of a heavy star, and give general and qualitative arguments on the behavior of the metrical tensor as the contraction progresses.
