Hyperon-nucleus potentials

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of SU(3) constraints on baryon-baryon coupling constants was analyzed in the context of meson exchange with nuclei, and it was shown how to construct the effective baryons-nucleon interaction matrix (G-matrix).

The Relativistic Two Nucleon Problem in Nuclear Matter

TL;DR: In this article, a new covariant formalism is developed for studying two-baryon correlations in infinite nuclear matter, which is based on renormalizable, relativistic quantum field theories of mesons and baryons (quantum hadrodynamics) and involves a selfconsistent summation of the relativistically ladder diagrams using a quasipotential approximation.

Analysis of chiral mean-field models for nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, an analysis of nuclear properties based on a relativistic energy functional containing Dirac nucleons and classical scalar and vector meson fields is discussed, and a truncation scheme is developed for the energy functional, which is based on an expansion in powers of the meson field and their gradients.

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.

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.
