Toward a unified equation of state for multi-messenger astronomy

TL;DR: In this article, a Lagrangian approach to the thermodynamic potential of quark-meson-nucleon (QMN) matter was used to develop a benchmark equation-of-state model for multi-messenger astronomy that unifies the thermodynamics of quarks and hadronic degrees of freedom.

Short-range components of nuclear forces: Experiment versus mythology

TL;DR: The present-day situation around the description of various (central, spin-orbit, and tensor) components of short-range nuclear forces is discussed in this article, where a traditional picture of these interactions based on the idea of one-meson exchange is contrasted against numerous results of recent experiments.

Effect of isospin asymmetry in a nuclear system

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of δ- and ω-ρ-meson cross couplings on asymmetry nuclear systems is analyzed in the framework of an effective field theory motivated relativistic mean field formalism.

Electromagnetic Properties of Few-Body Systems Within a Point-Form Approach

TL;DR: In this article, a Poincare-invariant coupled-channel approach based on point-form relativistic quantum mechanics is used to investigate the electromagnetic properties of two-body bound systems with spin 0 and spin 1.

Matter induced ϱ - ω mixing

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel mechanism for ϱ - ω mixing induced by neutron-proton asymmetry in nuclear matter is uncovered and the variation of the mixing angle with the extent of asymmetry is presented.

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.
