In-flight (K~-,N) Reactions for Study of Kaon-nucleus Interaction

We would like to emphasize that the in-flight (K~-,N) reactions are particularly useful for the study of the K-nucleus interaction.Since the reaction mechanism is well known,there is little ambiguity to derive the K-nucleus interaction from the measured missing mass spectra.Here we discuss the missing mass spectra of the (K~-,N) reactions on the ~(12)C and ~(16)O targets.The spectra show an appreciable amount of strength below the K-nucleus threshold which indicates that the K-nuclear potential is strongly attractive.Comparison of the missing mass spectra with theoretical calculations leads to a potential depth of around-190 MeV for the ~(12)C(K~-,n) reaction.A less deep potential of around-160 MeV reproduces well that of the ~(12)C(K~-,p) reaction.The difference can be due to isospin dependence of the interaction.Our data show that the K-nucleus potential is very deep to realize kaon condensation in the core of neutron stars.     

Hyperon coupling dependence of hadron matter properties in relativistic mean field model

The properties of hadronic matter at β equilibrium in a wide range of densities are described by appropriate equations of state in the framework of the relativistic mean field model. Strange meson fields, namely the scalar meson field σ＊（975） and the vector meson field φ（1020）, are included in the present work. We discuss and compare the results of the equation of state, nucleon effective mass, and strangeness fraction obtained by adopting the TM1, TMA, and GL parameter sets for nuclear sector and three different choices for the hypcron couplings. We find that the parameter set TM1 favours the onset of hyperons most, while at high densities the GL parameter set leads to the most hyperon-rich matter. For a certain parameter set （e.g. TM1）, the most hyperon-rich matter is obtained for the hyperon potential model. The influence of the hyperon couplings on the effective mass of nucleon, is much weaker than that on the nucleon parameter set. The nonstrange mesons dominate essentially the global properties of dense hyperon matter. The hyperon potential model predicts the lowest value of the neutron star maximum mass of about 1.45 Msun to be 0.4--0.5 Msun lower than the prediction by using the other choices for hyperon couplings.[第一段]     

Suitable resolution of EOS tables for neutron star investigations

Inasmuch as the hydrostatic structure of the interior of neutron stars uniquely depends on the equation of state(EOS), the inverse constraints on EOS from astrophysical observations have been an important method for revealing the properties of high density matter. Currently, most EOS for neutron star matter are given in tabular form,but these numerical tables can have quite different resolution. To guarantee both the accuracy and efficiency in computing the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, a concise standard for generating EOS tables with suitable resolution is investigated. It is shown that EOS tables with 50 points logarithmic-uniformly distributed in the supra-nuclear density segment [ρ_0, 10_(ρ0)], where ρ_0 is the nuclear saturation density, correspond to the interpolation induced errors of ～0.02% for the gravitational mass M and ～0.2% for the tidal deformability ∧.     

Vacuum fluctuation effects on hyperonic neutron star matter

The vacuum fluctuation （VF） effects on the properties of the hyperonic neutron star matter are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean field （RMF） theory. The VF corrections result in the density dependence of in-medium baryon and meson masses. We compare our results obtained by adopting three kinds of meson-hyperon couplings. The introduction of both hyperons and VF corrections softens the equation of state （EoS） for the hyperonic neutron star matter and hence reduces hyperonic neutron star masses. The presence of the δ field enlarges the masses and radii of hyperonic neutron stars. Taking into account the uncertainty of meson-hyperon couplings, the obtained maximum masses of hyperonic neutron stars are in the range of 1.33M⊙-1.55M⊙.     

Neutron Star Matter Including Delta Isobars

In this paper a new phase structure of neutron star matter including nucleons and delta isobars is presented.Particle fractions populated and pion condensations in neutron star matter are investigated in this model. The existence of the pion condensations can postpone the appearance of delta isobars. We found that both the pion condensation and reduce of the ratio of delta isobar to nucleons couplings can soften the corresponding equation of state. The maximum masses and their corresponding radii of neutron stars are calculated, and the obtained values are in observational region.

Systematic study of bubble nuclei in relativistic mean field model

We have theoretically studied potential bubble nuclei (^20,22O, ^34,36Si, and ⁴⁶Ar), which are experimentally accessible and have attracted several studies in the recent past. Relativistic mean field is employed in conjunction with the NL–SH parameter set. Our results show that among the possible candidates, ²²Oand ³⁴Si may be the most prominent candidates, showing significant depletion of density at the center, which could be verified experimentally in the near future with some of the experiments underway.

Effect of Mesons f0(975) and $\phi(1020)$ and Variety of $U_\Xi^{(N)}$ on Properties of Neutron Star Matter

We examine the effect of adding mesons f₀(975) and $\phi(1020)$ as well as the variety of $U_\Xi^{(N)}$ (the potential well depth of $\Xi$ in nuclear matter) from -10 MeV to -28 MeV on the extent of the particles participation and the properties of the neutron star in the relativistic mean field model. We find that considering the contribution of f₀ and $\phi$ mesons, the equation of state of the neutron star turns soft, the maximum mass reduces while the corresponding radius increases. $\Xi^-$ hyperons appear at lower density as $U_\Xi^{(N)}$ becomes deeper, and the variety of $U_\Xi^{(N)}$ has little effect on the equation of state and the properties of the neutron star.     

相对论简并电子气体的磁化

中子星内部的致密电子是高度简并的相对论气体, 其输运性质与中子星磁或热的观测现象密切相关, 被认为是中子星磁场的主要载体. 外磁场中电子的朗道能级是分立的且高度简并的, 与无外场时的能量差决定 了系统的磁化程度, 用量子统计的方法可计算理想相对论电子气体的磁化率. 结果表明弱场条件下的磁化率在数量级上接近白矮星的10^-3. 强磁场下的磁化呈现出类似在某些低温金属中出现的de Haas-van Alphen 震荡效应, 高次谐频的震荡幅度有可能超出临界磁化时的磁化率. 表明中子星内部有可能存在非稳定的磁化过程, 发生类似气液转化的一级相变过程, 出现两种磁化共存的稳定态或过冷磁化的亚稳态(若不同磁化态间存在表面能). 从亚稳态向稳定态的突然转化可能与磁星的辐射有关, 可以解释在磁星巨闪过程中观测到的额外辐射问题.

模型参数对奇异星性质的影响

用有效质量口袋模型描述奇异夸克物质,研究了耦合常数和口袋常数的选取对奇异夸克物质的状态方程及奇异星性质的影响.结果表明,随着耦合常数和口袋常数的增大,奇异夸克物质的状态方程变软,相应的奇异星的引力质量和对应的半径均变小.当耦合常数从0.5增大到2.0时,奇异星的质量从1.43M_⊙(M_⊙=1.99×10³⁰ kg)减小到1.25M_⊙,相应的半径由8.3 km减小到7.7 km;当口袋常数B^1/4由160 MeV增大到175 MeV时,奇异星的质量和半径分别由1.47M_⊙和8.6 km减小到1.22M_⊙和7.4 km.这说明奇异夸克物质及奇异星的性质明显依赖于模型参数的取值. 关键词： 模型参数 奇异星 状态方程 质量-半径关系

Impact of neutron star crust on gravitational waves from the axial w-modes

The imprints of the neutron star crust on the gravitational waves emitted from the axial w-modes are investigated by adopting two typical equations of state (EOSs) of the crust matter and two representative EOSs of the core matter. It is shown that there is a significant effect of the crust EOSs on the gravitational waves from the axial w-mode oscillation for a stiff core EOS.     

局域物态方程对中子星整体性质的影响

由于高密非对称核物质核核相互作用的复杂性,使得目前人们对高密非对称核物质的物态方程的认识还存在很大的不确定性。利用逐段修改物态方程的方法,探究了不同密度段物态方程对中子星整体性质的影响,尤其是对典型中子星（1.4 M_⊙）半径及最大质量的影响。研究进一步证实了在2倍饱和核密度附近的物态方程对典型质量中子星的半径有显著影响。还进一步分析了中子星的质量半径关系曲线特征及其斜率（dM/dR）对物态方程的依赖性,发现dM/dR主要由饱和核密度以上的中子星物质的物态方程决定。探索不同密度段物态方程对中子星整体性质的影响以及探索dM/dR对物态方程的依赖性,主要是为将来利用中子星的天文观测来反向约束致密物质的物态方程提供理论参考。Because of the complicacy of the interaction between the nucleon-nucleon for high density matters, up to now the equation of state (EOS) of the unsymmetrical high-density nuclear matter is still uncertain. In order to investigate the imprint on the global properties by some special part of the EOS, we designedly modify part of the EOS and explore the corresponding effect on the stellar properties, especially on the radius of the typical neutron star (1.4 M_⊙) and the maximum stellar mass of the neutron star sequence for a given EOS. It is further proved by our calculation that the EOS around 2 times of the saturation nuclear density has an obvious imprint on the stellar radius of a typical neutron star. In addition, we also investigate the dependence of the mass-radius curve and its slope (dM/dR) on the EOS. It is found that the slope (dM/dR) is mainly determined by the EOS above the saturation nuclear density. In fact, the investigations above will provide some useful theoretical reference. This is expected to conversely constrain the EOS of dense matter by using the future astronomic observation data of neutron star.
