Heavy baryons in hot stellar matter with light nuclei and hypernuclei

Abstract

The production of light nuclei and hypernuclei together with heavy baryons, both hyperons and $\Delta$-baryons, in low density matter as found in stellar environments such as supernova or binary mergers is studied within relativistic mean-field models. Five light nuclei were considered together with three light hypernuclei. The presence of both hyperons and $\Delta$-baryons shift the dissolution of clusters to larger densities and increase the abundance of clusters. This effect is larger the smaller the charge fraction and the higher the temperature. The couplings of the $\Delta$-baryons were chosen imposing that the nucleon effective mass remains finite inside neutron stars.
