Thermal Fluctuations in Nuclear Pasta

M. E. Caplan, C. R. Forsman, A. S. Schneider

Despite their astrophysical relevance, nuclear pasta phases are relatively unstudied at high temperatures. We present molecular dynamics simulations of symmetric nuclear matter wit…

The APR equation of state for simulations of supernovae, neutron stars and binary mergers

A. S. Schneider, C. Constantinou, B. Muccioli +1

Differences in the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter translate into differences in astrophysical simulations and their multi-messenger signatures. Thus, extending the number…

The Elasticity of Nuclear Pasta

M. E. Caplan, A. S. Schneider, C. J. Horowitz

The elastic properties of neutron star crusts are relevant for a variety of currently observable or near-future electromagnetic and gravitational wave phenomena. These phenomena ma…

Domains and defects in nuclear "pasta"

Andre da Silva Schneider, Matt E. Caplan, Don K. Berry +1

Nuclear pasta topology is an essential ingredient to determine transport properties in the inner crust of neutron stars. We perform semi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of…

Effect of topological defects on "nuclear pasta" observables

A. S. Schneider, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +2

[Background] The "pasta" phase of nuclear matter may play an important role in the structure and evolution of neutron stars. Recent works suggest nuclear pasta has a high resistivi…

Parking-garage structures in astrophysics and biophysics

C. J. Horowitz, D. K. Berry, M. E. Caplan +2

A striking shape was recently observed for the cellular organelle endoplasmic reticulum consisting of stacked sheets connected by helical ramps. This shape is interesting both for…

Pasta Nucleosynthesis: Molecular dynamics simulations of nuclear statistical equilibrium

M. E. Caplan, A. S. Schneider, C. J. Horowitz +1

Background: Exotic non-spherical nuclear pasta shapes are expected in nuclear matter at just below saturation density because of competition between short range nuclear attraction…

Nuclear Pasta Formation

A. S. Schneider, C. J. Horowitz, J. Hughto +1

The formation of complex nonuniform phases of nuclear matter, known as nuclear pasta, is studied with molecular dynamics simulations containing 51200 nucleons. A phenomenological n…

Compact stars with a quark core within NJL model

C. H. Lenzi, A. S. Schneider, C. Providência +1

An ultraviolet cutoff dependent on the chemical potential as proposed by Casalbuoni {\it et al} is used in the su(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The model is applied to the descripti…

Reexamining the neutron skin thickness within a density dependent hadronic model

S. S. Avancini, J. R. Marinelli, D. P. Menezes +2

We calculate the skin thickness, binding energy, surface energy and density profiles within the Dirac solution of a density dependent hadronic model and compare with the NL3 parame…
