Influence of Hyperon-Hyperon Interaction on Properties of Hadronic Star

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of hyperon-hyperon interaction on the overall properties of a hadronic star was investigated in the framework of relativistic mean field (RMF) theory.

Energy density functional theory in nuclei: Does it have to be relativistic?

P Ring
- 01 Oct 2012 - 
TL;DR: For more than 20 years, relativistic energy density functionals have been used in nuclear physics as discussed by the authors, and they have some essential advantages compared to the much older non-relativistic functionals.

Rotational evolution of protoneutron stars with hyperons: spin up or not?

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of a rigidly rotating protoneutron star (PNS) with hyperons and nucleons or solely nucleons in its core due to the escape of trapped neutrinos was studied.

Constraints and correlations of nuclear matter parameters from a density-dependent van der Waals model

TL;DR: In this paper, a density-dependent van der Waals model, with only $4$ free parameters adjusted to fix binding energy, saturation density, symmetry energy, and incompressibility, is analyzed under symmetric and asymmetric nuclear matter constraints.

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.
