Hyperon-Mixed Neutron Star Matter and Neutron Stars [PDF]
Progress of Theoretical Physics, 2002 Effective Σ − n and Σ − Σ − interactions are derived fromthe G-matrix calculations for {n+Σ − } matter and employed in the investigation of hyperon mixing in neutron star matter. The threshold densities ρt(Y ) at which hyperons start to appear are between 2ρ0 and 3ρ0 (where ρ0 is the normal nuclear density) for both Λ and Σ − , and their fractions ...

The Physics of Neutron Stars [PDF]
Science, 2004 Neutron stars are some of the densest manifestations of massive objects in the universe. They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and provide connections among nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics. Neutron stars may exhibit conditions and phenomena not observed elsewhere, such as

Neutron stars for undergraduates [PDF]
American Journal of Physics, 2004 The calculation of the structure of white dwarf and neutron stars is a suitable topic for an undergraduate thesis or an advanced special topics or independent study course. The subject is rich in many different areas of physics, ranging from thermodynamics to quantum statistics to nuclear physics to special and general relativity.

Neutron skins and neutron stars [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2013 The neutron-skin thickness of heavy nuclei provides a fundamental link to the equation of state of neutron-rich matter, and hence to the properties of neutron stars. The Lead Radius Experiment ("PREX") at Jefferson Laboratory has recently provided the first model-independence evidence on the existence of a neutron-rich skin in 208Pb.

Gravitoastronomy with neutron stars [PDF]
, 2004 Recent advances in gravitational wave detectors mean that we can start to make astrophysically important statements about the physics of neutron stars based on observed upper limits to their gravitational luminosity.

Cooling rates of neutron stars and the young neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant [PDF]
, 2010 We explore the thermal state of the neutron star in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant using the recent result of Ho & Heinke that the thermal radiation of this star is well described by a carbon atmosphere model and the emission comes from the ...

Quark Deconfinement in Rotating Neutron Stars
Universe, 2017 In this paper, we use a three flavor non-local Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, an improved effective model of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at low energies, to investigate the existence of deconfined quarks in the cores of neutron stars.

Probing the composition of sub-millisecond rotating compact stars by r-modes instability [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate the implications of the r-modes instability on the composition of a compact star rotating at a sub-millisecond period. In particular, the only viable astrophysical scenario for such an object, wich might present inside the Low Mass X-ray ...
