Nuclear Saturation in a Relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock Approach

TL;DR: Within the framework of a relativistic BruecknerHartree-Fock (RBHF) approach, the equation of state for nuclear matter has been determined as discussed by the authors, which leads to more repulsion in nuclear matter.

Relativistic field theory of superfluidity in nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, a relativistic theory of pairing correlations in nuclei is presented based on an extended mean field approximation, which contains apart from the kinetic term of Dirac and the self-consistent mesonic fields, known from relativist mean field theory, a Fock term and a pairing potential.

Variational Calculations of Realistic Models of Nuclear Matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported variational calculations of nuclear matter with a semi-realistic Reid v12 model and a realistic v14 model of the two-nucleon interaction operator.

An equation of state for nuclear and higher-density matter based on relativistic mean-field theory

TL;DR: In this article, a model stress tensor for high-density matter based on a linearized relativistic quantum field theory is examined, and two coupling constants are fit to nuclear matter.

The hyperon composition of neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, a relativistic interacting field theory of nucleons, hyperons, and mesons is studied in the context of neutron stars, and a large component of strange baryons is found.

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.
