Neutron Star Equation of State with Nucleon Short-Range Correlations: A Concise Review and Open Issues
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma
Nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) and the associated high-momentum tail (HMT) in its momentum distribution represent a universal feature of strongly interacting Fermi…
Is The Trace Anomaly at its Minimum Value at Neutron Star Centers?
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma
While the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star (NS) matter has been extensively studied, the EOS-parameter or equivalently the dimensionless…
Nucleon Short-Range Correlations and High-Momentum Dynamics: Implications on the Equation of State of Dense Matter
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma
Nucleon short-range correlations (SRCs) and their high-momentum tails (HMTs) encode key short-range dynamics in nuclei and dense matter. This review provides a concise overview of…
Revisiting the Possibility of a Sharp Phase Transition in Cold Neutron Stars
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li, Yu-Gang Ma
First-order phase transitions (FOPTs) in cold neutron stars (NSs) have been extensively studied and have provided valuable insights into the behavior of the densest matter visible…
Novel Scalings of Neutron Star Properties from Analyzing Dimensionless Tolman--Oppenheimer--Volkoff Equations
Bao-Jun Cai, Bao-An Li
The TOV equations govern the radial evolution of pressure and energy density in static neutron stars (NSs) in hydrodynamical equilibrium. Using the reduced pressure and energy dens…
