Hadron-quark phase transition in dense stars

TL;DR: In this article, an equation of state is computed for a plasma of one flavour quarks interacting through some phenomenological potential, at zero temperature, and it is shown that the quarks undergo a first-order mass phase transition.

Symmetric Excited States for a Mean-Field Model for a Nucleon

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a stationary model for a nucleon interacting with the ω and σ mesons in the atomic nucleus and proved the existence of infinitely many solutions with a given angular momentum.

Nuclear Response in Electron Scattering at High Momentum Transfer

TL;DR: In this paper, the nuclear response functions for high energy electron scattering were calculated in the wide region of excitation energy and three typical regions were studied: the quasi-elastic region, the $\Delta$-excitation region and the intermediate region where the meson-exchange currents gave significant contribution.

Effective meson masses, effective meson-nucleon couplings and neutron star radii

TL;DR: Using the generalized mean field theory, the authors studied the relation among the effective meson masses of asymmetric nuclear matter, meson-nucleon couplings and the equation of state (EOS) in nuclear matter and found that if the effective omega-meson mass becomes smaller at high density, the EOS becomes stiffer.

Nucleon Finite Volume Effect and Nuclear Matter Properties in a Relativistic Mean-Field Theory

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of excluded volume of nucleons on nuclear matter are studied, and the nuclear properties that follow from different relativistic mean-field model parametrizations are compared.

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.
