Impact of baryon resonances on the chiral phase transition at finite temperature and density

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase diagram of a generalized chiral SU(3)-flavour model in mean field approximation was studied and the influence of the baryon resonances, and their couplings to the scalar and vector fields, on the characteristics of the chiral phase transition as a function of temperature and baryons-chemical potential was investigated.

Equilibration in intermediate-energy heavy-ion collisions within a relativistic mean-field two-fluid model

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-fluid model with meanσ-andω-fields is formulated for the treatment of heavy-ion collisions at incident energies around 1 GeV/u.

Impacts of dark matter on the curvature of the neutron star

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dark matter on the curvatures of a neutron star were examined by using the stiff and soft relativistic mean-field equation of states, and it was found that the radial variation of different curvatures significantly affected by the presence of DM inside the NS.

Dielectron production in heavy ion collisions at 158 GeV/c per nucleon

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the low-mass electron pair production in 158 AGeV/c Pb-Au collisions with the Cherenkov Ring Electron Spectrometer (CERES) at the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator (SPS) at CERN.

Does kaon condensation occur in neutron stars in the relativistic mean-field theory?

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that even though hyperons which may increase the critical condensation density are not included, kaon condensation might not occur in stable neutron stars for the Zimanyi-Moszkowski model.

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.
