Compressibility of dense nuclear matter in the -meson variant of the Skyrme model
Miguel Huidobro, Paul Leask, Carlos Naya +1
We show that coupling the -valued Skyrme field to the -meson solves the long-standing issue of (in)compressibility in the solitonic Skyrme model. Even by includi…
Nuclear mass radius and pressure in the Skyrme model
Alberto García Martín-Caro, Miguel Huidobro, Yoshitaka Hatta
We compute the mass radius, scalar radius, tensor radius, baryon number radius and mechanical radius of nuclei with baryon number in the Skyrme model. Th…
Effective no-hair relations for spinning Boson Stars
Christoph Adam, Jorge Castelo, Alberto García Martín-Caro +2
Boson Stars are, at present, hypothetical compact stellar objects whose existence, however, could resolve several enigmas of current astrophysics. If they exist, either as independ…
Generalized skyrmion crystals with applications to neutron stars
Paul Leask, Miguel Huidobro, Andrzej Wereszczynski
In this article we study properties of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the generalized Skyrme model. This is achieved by canonically quantizing the isospin collective degrees…
Skyrme crystals, nuclear matter and compact stars
Christoph Adam, Alberto Garcia Martin-Caro, Miguel Huidobro +1
A general review of the crystalline solutions of the generalized Skyrme model and their application to the study of cold nuclear matter at finite density and the Equation of State…
Gravitational form factors of nuclei in the Skyrme model
Alberto García Martín-Caro, Yoshitaka Hatta, Miguel Huidobro
We compute the gravitational form factor of various nuclei in the generalized Skyrme model where nuclei are described as solitonic field configurations each with a definite…
Constrained instantons and kink-antikink collisions
C. Adam, A. García Martín-Caro, M. Huidobro +3
We show that constrained instantons, combined with the Relativistic Moduli Space approach, can accurately describe kink-antikink collisions in the model.
Kaon condensation in skyrmion matter and compact stars
Christoph Adam, Alberto García Martín-Caro, Miguel Huidobro +2
We address the possibility of the appearance of a charged kaon condensate in neutron star cores described within a generalized Skyrme model. Our treatment of strange degrees of fre…
Multikink scattering in the model revisited
C. Adam, P. Dorey, A. Garcia Martin-Caro +5
Antikink-kink ( ) collisions in the model exhibit resonant scattering although the kinks do not support any bound states to which energy could b…
Universal relations for rotating Boson Stars
Christoph Adam, Jorge Castelo, Alberto García Martín-Caro +3
Boson stars represent a hypothetical exotic type of compact stellar object that may be observed from the gravitational signal of coalescing binaries in current and future GW detect…
Quantum Skyrmion crystals and the symmetry energy of dense matter
Christoph Adam, Alberto García Martín-Caro, Miguel Huidobro +2
The canonical quantization method for collective coordinates in crystalline configurations of the generalized Skyrme model is applied in order to find the quantum ground state of S…
Dense matter equation of state and phase transitions from a Generalized Skyrme model
Christoph Adam, Alberto Garcia Martin-Caro, Miguel Huidobro +2
Skyrmion crystals are the field configurations which minimize the energy per baryon in the infinitely large topological charge sector of the Skyrme model, at least for sufficiently…
Quasi-universal relations for generalized Skyrme stars
Christoph Adam, Alberto García Martín-Caro, Miguel Huidobro +2
First proposed in 2013 by Yagi and Yunes, the quasi-universal \emph{I-Love-Q relations} consist of a set of relations between the moment of inertia, the spin-induced quadrupole mom…
A new consistent Neutron Star Equation of State from a Generalized Skyrme model
Christoph Adam, Alberto García Martín-Caro, Miguel Huidobro García +2
We propose a new equation of state for nuclear matter based on a generalized Skyrme model which is consistent with all current constraints on the observed properties of neutron sta…
BPS Skyrme neutron stars in generalized gravity
C. Adam, M. Huidobro, R. Vazquez +1
We study the coupling of nuclear matter described by the BPS Skyrme model to generalized gravity. Concretely, we consider the Starobinsky model which provides the leading-order cor…
