Rarita-Schwinger particles under the influence of strong magnetic fields

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the solutions of the Rarita-Schwinger equation with the inclusion of the electromagnetic interaction and show that all inconsistencies related to noncovariance and noncausality are avoided, and the Landau level occupation of particles turns out to be quite different from the usual spin 1/2 particle system occupation numbers.

Universal and approximate relations for the gravitational-wave damping timescale of $f$-modes in neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a number of other choices for estimating the gravitational-wave damping timescale of the dominant quadrupole oscillation mode in the nonrotating limit and constructed a highly accurate, empirically corrected formula that has a maximum relative error of only 3% with respect to the perturbative result in full general relativity.

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.
