Relativistic effects in the study of weakly bound $${}^{17}$$ 17 F and $${}^{11}$$ 11 Be nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic effects are employed to describe the weakly bound nuclei of the ground state and the excited states of these nuclei, and the results obtained from this approach are compared with a non-relativistic approach and experiment.

Impact of Fock terms on the isospin properties of nuclear matter

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of the Fock terms on the nuclear symmetry energy are listed, including the extra enhancement from the FOCK terms of the isoscalar meson-nucleon coupling channels, the extra hyperon-induced suppression effect originating from Fock channel, self-consistent tensor effects embedded automatically in Fock diagrams, enhanced density-dependent isospin-triplet potential part of the symmetry energy at high densities, a reduced kinetic symmetry energy, and so on.

RMF models with $\sigma$σ -scaled hadron masses and couplings for the description of heavy-ion collisions below 2 A GeV

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic mean-field framework with hadron masses and coupling constants dependent on the mean scalar field was used to study properties of nuclear matter at finite temperatures, baryon densities and isospin asymmetries.

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

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized mean field theory was used to study the relations among effective meson masses, meson-nucleon couplings and equations of state (EOS) in asymmetric nuclear matter.

Low temperature expansions in a relativistic mean field approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic mean field approach of Walecka was used to describe known properties of cold nuclear matter, and finite temperature corrections and their low temperature expansions were calculated for the equation of state, the baryon effective mass, the bulk modulus and the symmetry energy coefficient.

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.
