Thermodynamical properties of stellar matter

چکیده
Starting from the Helmholtz free energy we calculate analytically first-and second-order derivatives, as internal energy and specific heats, for the ideal system and the exchange and correlation interactions covering a broad range of degeneracy and relativity. The complex physics of Coulomb interactions is expressed by Padé Approximants, which reflect the actual state of our knowledge with high accuracy. We assume complete ionization and provide a base system of ther-modynamical functions from which any other thermodynami-cal quantities can be calculated. We chose for the base system the free energy, the pressure, the internal energy, the isothermal compressibility (or density exponent), the coefficient of strain (or temperature exponent), and the isochoric specific heat. By means of the latter potentials entropy, isobaric specific heat and adiabatic temperature gradient can be determined. We give comparisons with quantities which are composed by numerical second-order derivatives of the free energy and show that numerical derivatives of the free energy as calculated, for instance , from EOS tables, may produce discontinuities for astro-physically relevant quantities as, e.g., the adiabatic temperature gradient. Adiabatic temperature gradients are shown for different chemical compositions (hydrogen, helium, carbon). Finally the used formalism of Padé Approximants allows immediate incorporation of recent results from many particle statistics.

Relativistic Stellar Models with Quadratic Equation of State
In this paper, we have obtained and presented new relativistic stellar configurations considering an anisotropic fluid distribution with a charge distribution and a gravitational potential Z(x) that depends on an adjustable parameter. The quadratic equation of state based on Feroze and Siddiqui viewpoint is used for the matter distribution. The new solutions can be written in terms of elementar...
متن کاملStellar models : firm evidence , open questions and future developments
During this last decade our knowledge of the evolutionary properties of stars has significantly improved. This result has been achieved thanks to our improved understanding of the physical behavior of stellar matter in the thermal regimes characteristic of the different stellar mass ranges and/or evolutionary stages. This notwithstanding, the current generation of stellar models is still affect...
متن کاملThermodynamical Description of Heavy Ion Collisions
We analyze the thermodynamical state of nuclear matter in transport descriptions of heavy ion reactions. We determine thermodynamical variables from an analysis of local momentum space distributions and compare to blast model parameters from an analysis of fragment energy spectra. These descriptions are applied to spectator and fireball matter in semi-central and central Au+Au collisions at SIS...
متن کاملEvent-by-event analysis of heavy ion collisions and thermodynamical fluctuations
The event-by-event analysis of heavy ions collisions is becoming possible with advent of large acceptance detectors: it can provide dynamical information which cannot be obtained from inclusive spectra. We identify some observables which can be related to standard thermodynamical theory of fluctuations and therefore may provide information about properties of hadronic matter at the freeze-out s...
متن کاملEvolution of thin-wall configurations of texture matter
We consider the free matter of global textures within the framework of the perfect fluid approximation in general relativity. We examine thermodynamical properties of texture matter in comparison with radiation fluid and bubble matter. Then we study dynamics of thin-wall selfgravitating texture objects, and show that classical motion can be elliptical (finite), parabolical or hyperbolical. It i...
