Optimization of relativistic mean field model for finite nuclei to neutron star matter

TL;DR: In this article, the authors optimized the parameters of extended relativistic mean field model using a selected set of global observables which includes binding energies and charge radii for nuclei along several isotopic and isotonic chains and the iso-scalar giant monopole resonance energies for the 90 Zr and 208 Pb nuclei.

The spin-orbit field in superdeformed nuclei: a relativistic investigation

TL;DR: In this article, a set of parameters for an approximation of the relativistic scalar and vector-potentialsS andV in the Dirac equation in terms of Saxon-Woods shapes is presented.

Thomas Fermi model of finite nuclei

TL;DR: In this article, a relativistic Thomas-Fermi model of finite nuclei is considered and the effective nuclear interaction is mediated by exchanges of isoscalar scalar and vector mesons.

Chiral phase transition in an extended NJL model with higher-order multi-quark interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the chiral phase transition in an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with eight-quark interactions was studied, and the scalar and vector quark densities were derived in the mean field approximation.

Formation of hypernuclei in high energy reactions within a covariant transport model

TL;DR: In this article, the formation of fragments with strangeness degrees of freedom in proton-and heavy-ion-induced reactions at high relativistic energies is investigated. But the model used is a combination of a dynamical transport model and a statistical approach of fragment formation.

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.
