Hard protons from heavy-ion collisions

TL;DR: In this paper, the production of high energy γ-rays in intermediate energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is studied microscopically within two different approaches, i.e., collective bremsstrahlung within TDHF and Extended TDHF.

Role of hyperons and pions in neutron stars and supernova

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conjecture that hyperons and pions are responsible for the softening that is found to be crucial to the bounce scenario in supernova calculations, which is a large effect compared to the range in which theories of matter predict this limit to fall.

Table of ground state properties of nuclei in the rmf model

TL;DR: In this article, the ground state energies, sizes and deformations of even-even nuclei with 10 ≤ Z ≤ 110 have been carried out by using the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) model.

Rotating neutron stars with quark cores

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the density-dependent relativistic mean field model (DD-RMF) and vector-enhanced bag (vBag) model to investigate a phase transition to quark matter.

The Coulomb sum for electron scattering in the relativistic random phase approximation

TL;DR: The Coulomb sum value for electron scattering is estimated using the relativistic random phase approximation (RPA) in the field theory for nuclear matter as discussed by the authors, which reduces the sum value of the Hartree approximation by about 15-20%.

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.
