چکیده
We construct a class of nuclear equations of state based on a schematic potential model, that originates from the work of Prakash et. al. [1], which reproduce the results of most microscopic calculations. The equations of state are used as input for solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov equations for corresponding neutron stars. The potential part contribution of the symmetry energy to the total energy is parameterized in a generalized form both for low and high values of the baryon density. Special attention is devoted to the construction of the symmetry energy in order to reproduce the results of most microscopic calculations of dense nuclear matter. The obtained nuclear equations of state are applied for the systematic study of the global properties of a neutron star (masses, radii and composition). The calculated masses and radii of the neutron stars are plotted as a function of the potential part parameters of the symmetry energy. A linear relation between these parameters, the radius and the maximum mass of the neutron star is obtained. In addition, a linear relation between the radius and the derivative of the symmetry energy near the saturation density is found. We also address on the problem of the existence of correlation between the pressure near the saturation density and the radius.

Properties of effective interactions in neutron-rich matter are reflected in the medium’s equation of state (EOS), which is a relationship among several state variables. Spin and isospin asymmetries play an important role in the energy balance and could alter the stability conditions of the nuclear EOS. The EOS has far-reaching consequences for numerous nuclear processes in both the terrestrial...

Within a transport model it is shown that the neutron/proton ratio of squeezed-out nucleons perpendicular to the reaction plane, especially at high transverse momenta, in heavy-ion reactions induced by high energy neutron-rich nuclei can be a useful tool for studying the high density behavior of the nuclear symmetry energy.

We discuss SU(2) chiral sigma model in the nuclear matter using mean field approach at high density. In this model we include a dynamically generated isoscalar vector field and higher order terms in scalar field. With inclusion of these, we reproduce the empirical values of the nuclear matter saturation density, binding energy and the nuclear incompressibility. The desirable value of incompress...

It is well known that thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars with low mass play a relevant role in the chemical evolution. They have synthesized about 30% of the galactic carbon and provide an important contribution to the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements (A>80). The relevant nucleosynthesis site is the He-rich intermediate zone (less than 10 M⊙), where α(2α, γ) C reactions and slow n...
