Nuclear constraints on the core-crust transition density and pressure of neutron stars

Lie-Wen Chen, Bao-An Li, Hong-Ru Ma +1

Using the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter that has been recently constrained by the isospin diffusion data from intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions, we have stu…

Transition Density and Pressure at the Inner Edge of Neutron Star Crusts

Jun Xu, Che Ming Ko, Lie-Wen Chen +2

Using the nuclear symmetry energy that has been recently constrained by the isospin diffusion data in intermediate-energy heavy ion collisions, we have studied the transition densi…

Nuclear constraints on the inner edge of neutron star crusts

Lie-Wen Chen, Bao-An Li, Hong-Ru Ma +1

We show that the widely used parabolic approximation to the Equation of State (EOS) of asymmetric nuclear matter leads systematically to significantly higher core-crust transition…

Nuclear constraints on properties of neutron star crusts

Jun Xu, Lie-Wen Chen, Bao-An Li +1

The transition density and pressure at the inner edge separating the liquid core from the solid crust of neutron stars are systematically studied using a modified G…

Isospin and momentum dependence of liquid-gas phase transition in hot asymmetric nuclear matter

Jun Xu, Lie-Wen Chen, Bao-An Li +1

The liquid-gas phase transition in hot neutron-rich nuclear matter is investigated within a self-consistent thermal model using different interactions with or without isospin and/o…
