New magicity N = 32 and 34 due to strong couplings between Dirac inversion partners

TL;DR: In this article, the Dirac inversion partners (DIPs) play a key role in opening both subshells at N = 32 and 34, where the strong couplings originate from the inversion similarity between the DIPs, that the upper component of one partner shares the same angular momentum as the lower component of the other and vice versa.

Novel self-consistent mean field approximation and its application in strong interaction phase transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent mean field approximation method by means of a Fierz transformation was proposed, taking the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model as an example.

Phase transitions and critical behavior in hadronic transport with a relativistic density functional equation of state

TL;DR: In this article, a relativistically covariant parameterization of dense nuclear matter equation of state is developed for inclusion in computationally demanding hadronic transport simulations, showing that effects due to bulk thermodynamic behavior are reproduced in dynamic hadronic systems.

On the cooling of neutron stars

TL;DR: In this article, the energy loss in dense nuclear matter as a result of URCA processes at finite temperatures was calculated using Walecka's mean field theory and evaluated the angular integrals involved exactly.

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.
