Delta Meson Effects in the Nolen-Schiffer Anomaly

TL;DR: In this article, the Okamoto-Nolen-Schiffer (ONS) anomaly was revisited in the context of four parametrizations of effective hadronic models, two of them with constant couplings between the nucleons and the mesons and two with density-dependent couplings.

Thermal effects in dense matter beyond mean field theory

TL;DR: In this paper, the formalism of next-to-leading order (NLO) Fermi Liquid Theory (FLT) is employed to calculate the thermal properties of symmetric nuclear and pure neutron matter in a relativistic many-body theory beyond the mean field level which includes two-loop (TL) effects.

Meson exchange in nuclei and the EMC effect

TL;DR: In this article, the meson part of the structure function is found to be concentrated at extremely small values of the scaling variable (x ≲0.05), being very large in this region since the characteristic momenta of nuclear form factors are of order R −1, R is the nuclear radius.

Generalized nonlinear couplings in the relativistic mean-field model

TL;DR: In this paper, most general forms of the nonlinear selfcoupling of the scalar field in the relativistic mean-field model are discussed, the frequently used form where scalar mass is field-dependent, and an alternative where the scalars coupling constant becomes fielddependent.

Correlations in nuclear matter at low densities in an extended relativistic mean-field model

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of two specific types of correlations on thermodynamic properties of nuclear matter within the framework of a generalized relativistic mean-field model with light clusters as additional degrees of freedom beyond nucleons was investigated.

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.
