Relativistic hartree-fock description of high-density nuclear matter☆

TL;DR: In this article, Relativistic Hartree-Fock equations are solved for an infinite system of nucleons and mesons and there exists a phase transition from a Fermi "sphere" to a fermi ''shell'' characterized by a discontinuity in the heat capacity.

Properties of nuclei far from the stability line in the relativistic hartree theory

TL;DR: The role of the rho-meson field, which provides the isovector interaction among nucleons, in determining nuclear properties far from the stability line was studied in this paper.

Momentum dependent mean-field dynamics of compressed nuclear matter and neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear derivative (NLD) model was proposed to describe the bulk properties of the nuclear matter and compare well with microscopic calculations and Dirac phenomenology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear mean field theory for nuclear matter and surface properties

TL;DR: In this article, a nonlinear relativistic mean field theory was proposed to study the nuclear surface properties, and the strength of the required parameters is determined from the binding energy and density of nuclear matter and the effective nucleon mass.

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.
