Thermodynamic behavior of the generalized scalar Yukawa model in a magnetic background

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermodynamic behavior of generalized scalar Yukawa model, composed of a complex scalar field interacting with scalar and vector fields, and analyzed the phase structure of this model at effective chemical equilibrium under change of values of the relevant parameters.

A connection between the relativistic mean field approach and effective interactions

TL;DR: In this paper, the Dirac equation is reduced to a Schrodinger equation which resembles very much the Hartree-Fock-Skyrme equation and the connection with effective hamiltonians is discussed.

Shape coexistence and parity doublet in Zr isotopes

TL;DR: In this paper, the ground and excited states properties of Zr isotopes are studied from proton to neutron drip lines using the relativistic (RMF) and nonrelativistic mean-field formalisms with Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) and Bogoliubov pairing, respectively.

A modified relativistic Hartree approximation to the nuclear matter equation of state

TL;DR: In this article, the renormalization scale of the Walecka σ - ω model is set to the effective nucleon mass at nuclear saturation density and the model gives a dramatically lower compression modulus.

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.

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.
