Neutron rich matter, neutron stars, and their crusts
Neutron rich matter is at the heart of many fundamental questions in Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. What are the high density phases of QCD? Where did the chemical elements come from? What is the structure of many compact and energetic objects in the heavens, and what determines their electromagnetic, neutrino, and gravitational-wave radiations? Moreover, neutron rich matter is being studied...
متن کاملHyperon-rich matter in neutron stars.
We study the equation of state of hyperon-rich matter for neutron stars using an extended relativistic mean-field model. We take special care of the recently proposed non-linear behaviour of the vector field which gives a much better description of Dirac-Brückner calculations. The hyperon-hyperon interaction is also implemented by introducing additional meson exchanges. These new terms avoid th...
متن کاملQuark matter in neutron stars
According to quantum chromodynamics, matter at ultra-high density and low temperature is a quark liquid, with a condensate of Cooper pairs of quarks near the Fermi surface (“color superconductivity”). This paper reviews the physics of color superconductivity, and discusses some of the proposed signatures by which we might detect quark matter in neutron stars.
متن کاملIncompressibility of neutron - rich matter
The saturation properties of neutron-rich matter are investigated in a relativistic mean-field formalism using two accurately calibrated models: NL3 and FSUGold. The saturation properties—density, binding energy per nucleon, and incompressibility coefficient—are calculated as a function of the neutron-proton asymmetry α ≡ (N − Z)/A to all orders in α. Good agreement (at the 10% level or better)...
متن کاملNeutron-phonon Interaction in Neutron Star Crusts
The phonon spectrum of Coulomb lattice in neutron star crusts above the neutron drip density is affected by the interaction with the ambient neutron Fermi-liquid. For the values of the neutron-phonon coupling constant in the range 0.1 ≤ λ ≤ 1 an appreciable renormalization of the phonon spectrum occurs which can lead to a lattice instability manifested in an exponential growth of the density fl...
