NJL-model analysis of dense quark matter

TL;DR: In this article, deconfined quark matter within NJL-type models are reviewed, focusing on the regime of low temperatures and moderate densities, which is not accessible by perturbative QCD.

Relativistic continuum Hartree Bogoliubov theory for ground-state properties of exotic nuclei

TL;DR: The Relativistic Continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory as mentioned in this paper takes into account the pairing correlation and the coupling to (discretized) continuum via Bogolisubov transformation in a microscopic and self-consistent way.

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.
