Hadronic and electromagnetic probes of hot and dense nuclear matter

TL;DR: In this article, a covariant hadronic transport approach is proposed to model scalar and vector hadron self-energies in terms of effective "chiral" Lagrangians.

Reaction dynamics with exotic nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of ab initio simulations of n -rich, n -poor, heavy-ion collisions, using stochastic isospin-dependent transport equations, are analyzed as a function of beam energy and centrality.

Self-consistent hartree description of finite nuclei in a relativistic quantum field theory

TL;DR: The relativistic Hartree equations for spherical nuclei were derived from a relativistically nuclear quantum field theory using a coordinate-space Green function approach in this paper, which represented the mean-field approximation for a finite nuclear system.

Nuclear effective forces and isotope shifts

TL;DR: In this paper, a modification of the spin-orbit contribution to the nonrelativistic Skyrme functional was proposed to predict the same behavior for the isotope shifts in the Pb region.

Relativistic nuclear structure. I. Nuclear matter.

TL;DR: The formalism, the potentials, and the results of this paper may also serve as a basis and a realistic starting point for systematic relativistic nuclear structure studies as well as for the investigation of further relativism many-body corrections and of contributions of higher order.

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.
