TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the role of the nuclear symmetry energy and the nuclear specific heat in the collapse of a supernova, and showed that the symmetry energy plays an important role in the supernova phenomenon, the structure of neutron stars, and in the mergers of compact objects.About:

Explosion Mechanisms of Core-Collapse Supernovae
TL;DR: The neutrino-heating mechanism, aided by nonradial flows, drives explosions, albeit low-energy ones, of O-Ne-Mg-core and some Fe-core progenitors as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A rapid astronomical search located the optical counterpart of the neutron star merger GW170817 and shows how these observations can be explained by an explosion known as a kilonova, which produces large quantities of heavy elements in nuclear reactions.

Isospin asymmetry in nuclei and neutron stars
TL;DR: In this article, the roles of isospin asymmetry in nuclei and neutron stars are investigated using a range of potential and field-theoretical models of nucleonic matter.

The Skyrme interaction in finite nuclei and nuclear matter
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive survey of the performance of one of the most successful non-relativistic self-consistent method, the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model (SHF), with respect to these constraints is presented.

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.

Nucleosynthesis, neutrino bursts and gamma-rays from coalescing neutron stars

TL;DR: In this paper, it was pointed out that neutron-star collisions should synthesize neutron-rich heavy elements, thought to be formed by rapid neutron capture (the r-process), and these collisions should produce neutrino bursts and resultant bursts of gamma rays; the latter should comprise a subclass of observable gamma-ray bursts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational Radiation and the Motion of Two Point Masses
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that, regardless of coordinate systems or conditions, the energy of a system must decrease as a result of the radiation of gravitational waves, providing the potentials are inversely proportional to the distance from the source for large distances.

TL;DR: In this paper, a pulsar with a pulsation period that varies systematically between 0.058967 and 0.59045 sec over a cycle of 0.3230 d was detected.

A Generalized equation of state for hot, dense matter
TL;DR: In this paper, an equation of state for hot, dense matter is presented in a form that is sufficiently rapid to use directly in hydrodynamical simulations, for example, in stellar collapse calculations.
