Neutron skins and neutron stars in the multi-messenger era

TL;DR: A set of realistic models of the equation of state (EOS) that yield an accurate description of the properties of finite nuclei, support neutron stars of two solar masses, and provide a Lorentz covariant extrapolation to dense matter are used to confront its predictions against tidal polarizabilities extracted from the gravitational-wave data.

Equations of state for hot neutron stars-II. The role of exotic particle degrees of freedom

TL;DR: In this paper , a general purpose equation of state model with exotica available on the CompOSE database is presented, and thermal properties for thermodynamic conditions relevant for core-collapse supernovae and binary neutron star mergers are investigated.

Fractional exclusion statistics applied to relativistic nuclear matter

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the statistics of the quasiparticles in the nuclear matter at extreme conditions of density and temperature is evaluated in the relativistic mean-field model generalized to the framework of fractional exclusion statistics.

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.
