Properties of nuclear pastas

JA López, CO Dorso, G Frank - Frontiers of Physics, 2021 - Springer
In this review we study the nuclear pastas as they are expected to be formed in neutron star
crusts. We start with a study of the pastas formed in nuclear matter (composed of protons …

Unified equations of state for cold nonaccreting neutron stars with Brussels-Montreal functionals. II. Pasta phases in semiclassical approximation

JM Pearson, N Chamel, AY Potekhin - Physical Review C, 2020 - APS
We generalize our earlier work on neutron stars, which assumed spherical Wigner-Seitz
cells in the inner crust, to admit the possibility of pasta phases, ie, nonspherical cell shapes …

Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov mass models on a 3D mesh: effect of triaxial shape

G Scamps, S Goriely, E Olsen, M Bender… - The European Physical …, 2021 - Springer
The modelling of nuclear reactions and radioactive decays in astrophysical or earth-based
conditions requires detailed knowledge of the masses of essentially all nuclei. Microscopic …

A neutron star is born

DP Menezes - Universe, 2021 - mdpi.com
A neutron star was first detected as a pulsar in 1967. It is one of the most mysterious
compact objects in the universe, with a radius of the order of 10 km and masses that can …

In the framework of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, we systematically study the EOSs and
microscopic structures of neutron star matter in a vast density range with nb≈ 10− 10-2 fm …

Dark particle mass effects on neutron star properties from a short-range correlated hadronic model

M Dutra, CH Lenzi, O Lourenço - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
In this work we study a relativistic mean-field (RMF) hadronic model, with nucleonic short-
range correlations (SRC) included, coupled to dark matter (DM) through the Higgs boson …

Impact of the neutron-star deformability on equation of state parameters

CY Tsang, MB Tsang, P Danielewicz, WG Lynch… - Physical Review C, 2020 - APS
We use a Bayesian inference analysis to explore the sensitivity of Taylor expansion
parameters of the nuclear equation of state (EOS) to the neutron star dimensionless tidal …

Analytic multi-Baryonic solutions in the SU (N)-Skyrme model at finite density

Unified nuclear matter equations of state constrained by the in-medium balance in density-dependent covariant density functionals

CJ **a, BY Sun, T Maruyama, WH Long, A Li - Physical Review C, 2022 - APS
Considering the effects of charge screening, we propose a new numerical recipe within the
framework of the Thomas-Fermi approximation, where the properties of nuclear matter …

Structure and composition of the inner crust of neutron stars from Gogny interactions

C Mondal, X Viñas, M Centelles, JN De - Physical Review C, 2020 - APS
The detailed knowledge of the inner crust properties of neutron stars might be important to
explain different phenomena such as pulsar glitches or the possibility of an r-process site in …
