Landau-parameters and isoscalar nuclear excitations in a relativistic mean-field theory

TL;DR: In this article, the parameters of Landau's Fermi-liquid theory are calculated for nuclear matter in the framework of a relativistic mean-field theory, where self-interactions of the scalar meson field are taken into account.

Study of the isotonic shifts of charge form factor for the light proton-rich nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used relativistic eikonal approximation with the charge density distributions from the RMF model for elastic electron scattering on light proton-rich nuclei on the N = 8, 10, 20, and 28 isotonic chains.

Inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking in dense neutron-star matter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed recent results on inhomogeneous chiral symmetry breaking under an astrophysics-oriented perspective and discussed possible signatures of inhomogenous chiral symmetric breaking in the core of compact stars, considering the cases of mass-radius relations and neutrino emissivity explicitly.

Self‐gravitating fluids of class one with nonvanishing Weyl tensor

TL;DR: In this article, all the Zeldovich fluids of imbedding class one with nonvanishing Weyl tensor have been obtained by solving equations of continuity and equations of motion.

Relativistic Effects and Three-Nucleon Forces in Nuclear Matter and Nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, a large body of predictions obtained within the framework of relativistic meson theory together with the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach to nuclear matter and finite nuclei are reviewed.

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.
