致密物质性质和适用于超新星及中子星研究的状态方程(英文)

采用相对论平均场方法研究了致密物质的性质, 构造了包括较宽温度、 同位旋不对称度和密度范围的适用于超新星模拟研究的状态方程, 均匀物质由相对论平均场理论描述, 非均匀物质由托马斯 费米近似给出。讨论了包含超子自由度的中子星物质的状态方程。 计算结果表明, 包含超子可以有效地软化高密度区的状态方程, Λ超子的超流态有可能存在于大质量中子星内部。The properties of dense matter are studied within the relativistic mean field theory. The equation of state (EOS) of dense matter are constructed covering a wide range of temperature, proton fraction, and density for the use of supernova simulations. The relativistic mean field theory is employed to describe the uniform matter, while the Thomas Fermi approximation is adopted to describe the non uniform matter. The EOS of neutron star matter is discussed with the inclusion of hyperons. It is found that the EOS at high density can be significantly softened by the inclusion of hyperons. The 1S₀ superfluidity of Λ hyperons may exist in massive neutron stars.
