The authors review the present status of self-consistent mean-field (SCMF) models for
describing nuclear structure and low-energy dynamics. These models are presented as …

The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from
nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the …

Heavy atomic nuclei have an excess of neutrons over protons, which leads to the formation
of a neutron skin whose thickness is sensitive to details of the nuclear force. This links …

The theory of the nuclear energy-density functional is used to provide a unified and
thermodynamically consistent treatment of all regions of cold non-accreting neutron stars. In …

This paper presents a detailed assessment of the ability of the 240 Skyrme interaction
parameter sets in the literature to satisfy a series of criteria derived from macroscopic …

Abstract Properties of dense nucleon matter and the structure of neutron stars are studied
using variational chain summation methods and the new Argonne v 18 two-nucleon …

In a first paper Skyrme effective forces were revisited in order to improve their isospin
properties away from the β stability line. In this paper, these forces are specifically adjusted …

Pattern formation is a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in nonlinear and out-of-equilibrium
systems. In equilibrium, quantum ferrofluids formed from ultracold atoms were recently …

An equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter, describing both the neutron star crust and
the liquid core, is calculated. It is based on the effective nuclear interaction SLy of the …

Neutron stars are some of the densest manifestations of massive objects in the universe.
They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and …
