The effective Gogny interactions of the D1 family were established by D. Gogny more than forty years ago with the aim to describe simultaneously the mean field and the pairing field corresponding to the nuclear interaction. The most popular Gogny parametrizations, namely D1S, D1N and D1M, describe accurately the ground-state properties of spherical and deformed finite nuclei all across the mass table obtained with Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov (HFB) calculations. However, these forces produce a rather soft equation of state (EoS) in neutron matter, which leads to predict maximum masses of neutron stars well below the observed value of two solar masses. To remove this limitation, we built new Gogny parametrizations by modifying the density dependence of the symmetry energy predicted by the force in such a way that they can be applied to the neutron star domain and can also reproduce the properties of finite nuclei as good as their predecessors. These new parametrizations allow us to obtain stiffer EoS’s based on the Gogny interactions, which predict maximum masses of neutron stars around two solar masses. Moreover, other global properties of the star, such as the moment of inertia and the tidal deformability, are in harmony with those obtained with other well tested EoSs based on the SLy4 Skyrme force or the Barcelona–Catania–Paris–Madrid (BCPM) energy density functional. Properties of the core-crust transition predicted by these Gogny EoSs are also analyzed. Using these new Gogny forces, the EoS in the inner crust is obtained with the Wigner–Seitz approximation in the Variational Wigner–Kirkwood approach along with the Strutinsky integral method, which allows one to estimate in a perturbative way the proton shell and pairing corrections. For the outer crust, the EoS is determined basically by the nuclear masses, which are taken from the experiments, wherever they are available, or by HFB calculations performed with these new forces if the experimental masses are not known.

Over the last few decades the mean field approach using selfconsistentHaretree-Fock (HF) calculations with Skyrme effectiveinteractions have been found very satisfactory in reproducingnuclear properties for both stable and unstable nuclei. They arebased on effective energy-density functional, often formulated interms of effective density-dependent nucleon–nucleon interactions.In the present research, the SkM, SkM*, SI, SIII, SIV, T3, SLy4,Skxs15, Skxs20 and Skxs25 Skyrme parameterizations have beenused within HF method to investigate some static and dynamicnuclear ground state proprieties of 84-108Mo isotopes. In particular,the binding energy, proton, neutron, mass and charge densities andcorresponding root mean square radius, neutron skin thickness andcharge form factor are calculated by using this method with theSkyrme parameterizations mentioned above. The calculated resultsare compared with the available experimental data. Calculationsshow that the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock (SHF) theory with aboveforce parameters provides a good description on Mo isotopes.

Many efforts are made to determine the nuclear equation of state which governs the properties and evolution of neutron stars. Especially important is to constrain the parameters of the nuclear symmetry energy. In those efforts, nuclear energy density functional (EDF) theory has been a very useful tool, as it provides a unified framework for the description both of nuclei, which can be studied on Earth, and of infinite matter and its nuclear equation of state, which is a necessary input in the modelling of neutron stars. In the present study, a new nuclear EDF, the KIDS functional, is explored with a focus on the nuclear symmetry energy. The form of the functional allows us to vary at will the poorly constrained high-order derivatives of the symmetry energy and examine how the maximum possible mass of a neutron star is affected. Some tentative constraints on the skewness are presented, which will help guide further refinements. It is noteworthy that the pressure of neutron-rich matter is found strongly affected by skewness variations, both at low and high densities.

Using a modified energy density functional of nuclear matter derived by solving the Bethe–Goldstone equation with a realistic nucleon–nucleon interaction and by including corrections due to relativistic and three-body effects, an effective Skyrme parameter set is derived. These corrections are found to be important in order to well describe the saturation properties of nuclear matter. The obtained Skyrme parameter set, which we denoted by SKRA, is found to better account for nuclear correlations and satisfactory describes finite nuclei, when used in the Skyrme–Hartree–Fock theory. The SKRA interaction can also be considered as an important step toward removing the ambiguities in the determination of Skyrme parameters.

Abstract We report a new equation of state (EoS) of cold and hot hyperonic matter constructed in the framework of the quark-meson-coupling (QMC-A) model. The QMC-A EoS yields results compatible with available nuclear physics constraints and astrophysical observations. It covers the range of temperatures from T=0 to 100 MeV, entropies per particle S/A between 0 and 6, lepton fractions from YL=0.0 to 0.6, and baryon number densities nB=0.05-1.2 fm-3. Applications of the QMC-A EoS are made to cold neutron stars (NS) and to hot proto-neutron stars (PNS) in two scenarios, (i) lepton rich matter with trapped neutrinos (PNS-I) and (ii) deleptonized chemically equilibrated matter (PNS-II). We find that the QMC-A model predicts hyperons in amounts growing with increasing temperature and density, thus suggesting not only their presence in PNS but also, most likely, in NS merger remnants. The nucleon-hyperon phase transition is studied through the adiabatic index and the speed of sound cs. We observe that the lowering of (cs/c)2 to and below the conformal limit of 1/3, is strongly correlated with the onset of hyperons. Rigid rotation of cold and hot stars, their moments of inertia and Kepler frequencies are also explored. The QMC-A model results are compared with two relativistic models, the chiral mean field model (CMF), and the generalized relativistic density functional (GRDF) with DD2 (nucleon-only) and DD2Y-T (full baryon octet) interactions. Similarities and differences are discussed.

The microscopic properties and superfluidity of the inner crust in neutron stars are investigated in the framework of the relativistic mean field(RMF) model and BCS theory. The Wigner-Seitz(W-S) cell of inner crust is composed of neutron-rich nuclei immersed in a sea of dilute, homogeneous neutron gas. The pairing properties of nucleons in the W-S cells are treated in BCS theory with Gogny interaction. In this work, we emphasize on the choice of the boundary conditions in the RMF approach and superfluidity of the inner crust. Three kinds of boundary conditions are suggested. The properties of the W-S cells with the three kinds of boundary conditions are investigated. The neutron density distributions in the RMF and Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) models are compared.

Flow Velocities

Temperature and velocity-dependent 1S0 pairing gaps, chemical potentials and entrainment matrix in dense homogeneous neutron–proton superfluid mixtures constituting the outer core of neutron stars, are determined fully self-consistently by solving numerically the time-dependent Hartree–Fock–Bogoliubov equations over the whole range of temperatures and flow velocities for which superfluidity can exist. Calculations have been made for npeμ in beta-equilibrium using the Brussels–Montreal functional BSk24. The accuracy of various approximations is assessed and the physical meaning of the different velocities and momentum densities appearing in the theory is clarified. Together with the unified equation of state published earlier, the present results provide consistent microscopic inputs for modeling superfluid neutron-star cores.
