Self-consistent mean field models are a powerful tool in the investigation of nuclear structure
and low-energy dynamics. They are based on effective energy-density functionals, often …

Using a density-dependent quark model and a relativistic model within the mean-field
approximation for hadrons with density-dependent meson-baryon couplings, we construct …

A new density dependent effective baryon–baryon interaction has been recently derived
from the quark–meson-coupling (QMC) model, offering impressive results in application to …

We present sets of equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter including hyperons using an SU
f (3) extended relativistic mean field (RMF) model with a wide coverage of density …

A neutron star was first detected as a pulsar in 1967. It is one of the most mysterious
compact objects in the universe, with a radius of the order of 10 km and masses that can …

Higher-order repulsive interactions are included in the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio
model in order to describe the quark phase of an hybrid star. The effect of 4-quark and 8 …

We study the effect of a strong magnetic field on the properties of neutron stars with a quark–
hadron phase transition. It is shown that the magnetic field prevents the appearance of a …

The possible presence of deconfined matter in the cores of massive neutron stars is the
subject of a large debate. In this context, it is important to set limits on the size and …

In the light of the very massive neutron stars recently detected and the new possible
constraints for the radii of these compact objects, we revisit some equations of state obtained …

We explore the possibility of a structured hadron-quark mixed phase forming in the interior of
neutron stars. The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which explicitly incorporates the …
