TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of low-momentum two-nucleon and many-body interactions and their use in calculations of nuclei and infinite matter.

TL;DR: In this paper, two-nucleon and three-Nucleon forces from chiral effective field theory are optimized simultaneously to low-energy nucleon-Nuclear scattering data, as well as binding energies and radii of few nucleon systems and selected isotopes of carbon and oxygen.
Abstract: With the goal of developing predictive ab initio capability for light and medium-mass nuclei, two-nucleon and three-nucleon forces from chiral effective field theory are optimized simultaneously to low-energy nucleon-nucleon scattering data, as well as binding energies and radii of few-nucleon systems and selected isotopes of carbon and oxygen. Coupled-cluster calculations based on this interaction, named NNLOsat, yield accurate binding energies and radii of nuclei up to Ca-40, and are consistent with the empirical saturation point of symmetric nuclear matter. In addition, the low-lying collective J(pi) = 3(-) states in O-16 and 40Ca are described accurately, while spectra for selected p- and sd-shell nuclei are in reasonable agreement with experiment.

TL;DR: In this article, a new scheme for testing nuclear matter equations of state (EoSs) at high densities using constraints from neutron star phenomenology and a flow data analysis of heavy-ion collisions is suggested.
Abstract: A new scheme for testing nuclear matter equations of state (EoSs) at high densities using constraints from neutron star (NS) phenomenology and a flow data analysis of heavy-ion collisions is suggested. An acceptable EoS shall not allow the direct Urca process to occur in NSs with masses below 1.5M� , and also shall not contradict flow and kaon production data of heavy-ion collisions. Compact star constraints include the mass

TL;DR: The cooling of a compact star depends very sensitively on the state of matter at supranuclear densities, which essentially controls the neutrino emission, as well as on the structure of the stellar outer layers which control the photon emission as mentioned in this paper.
359 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-classical approximation of the moments of inertia of even to odd-mass nuclei and also the gyromagnetic ratio for rotating nuclei is presented.
