We investigate the possibility of kaon condensation in the dense interior of neutron stars through the s--wave interaction of kaons with nucleons. We include nucleon--nucleon interactions by using simple parametrizations of realistic…
Building on, and extending, the result of a higher-order in-medium chiral perturbation theory combined with renormalization group arguments and a variety of observations of the vector manifestation of Harada-Yamawaki hidden local symmetry…
It is argued that a well measured double neutron star binary in which the two neutron stars are more than 4% different from each other in mass or a massive neutron star with mass M > 2 M_sun would put in serious doubt or simply falsify the…
The recent measurement of the mass of neutron stars (PSR J1614 - 2230, PSR J0348 + 0432, MSP J0740 + 6620) restricts the lower limit $\sim 2M_{\odot}$ of the maximum mass of such compact stars, making it possible for dense matter to exist…
An effective chiral Lagrangian in heavy-fermion formalism whose parameters are constrained by kaon-nucleon and kaon-nuclear interactions next to the leading order in chiral expansion is used to describe kaon condensation in dense ``neutron…
The critical density for kaon condensation in ``nuclear star" matter is computed up to two-loop order {\it in medium} (corresponding to next-to-next-to-leading order in chiral perturbation theory in free space) with a heavy-baryon effective…
We discuss the nature of the kaon condensation phase transition. We find several features which, if kaons condense in neutron stars, are not only remarkable, but must surely effect such properties as superfluidity and transport properties,…
We investigate nuclear matter equations of state in neutron star with kaon condensation. It is generally known that the existence of kaons in neutron star makes the equation of state soft so that the maximum mass of neutron star is not…
Based on the Kaplan-Nelson Lagrangian, we investigate kaon condensation in dense neutron star matter allowing for the explicit presence of hyperons. Using various models we find that the condensate threshold is sensitive to the behavior of…
We study the influence of a high density behaviour of the nuclear symmetry energy on a kaon condensation in neutron stars. We find that the symmetry energy typical for several realistic nuclear potentials, which decreases at high densities,…
The analysis of SN1987A led Brown and Bethe (1995) to conclusion, that the maximum mass of cold neutron stars is low, M_max ~ 1.5M_sun. Such a low M_max, due to a kaon condensation in the stellar core, implies collapse of a too massive…
The recent observation of a compact star with a mass of $M=0.77^{+0.20}_{-0.17}~{\rm M_{\odot}}$ and a radius of $R=10.4^{+0.86}_{-0.78}$ km, located within the supernova remnant HESS J1731-347, has substantially reinforced the evidence for…
We use the modified quark-meson coupling and the quantum hadrodynamics models to study the properties of neutron star. Coupling constants of both models are adjusted to reproduce the same saturation properties. The onset of kaon…
Combining the recent experimental indications of density dependence in the pion decay constant $f_\pi^\star$ and the $\omega$ meson mass $m_\omega^\star$ and the discovery of $S^0 (3115)$ and other "strange nuggets" with the vector…
We investigate s-wave kaon condensation in dense matter and neutron stars within the updated Chiral Mean Field model with an improved meson description (mCMF), which incorporates dynamically generated in-medium meson masses arising from…
The core of neutron-star matter is supposed to be at a much higher density than the normal nuclear matter density for which various possibilities have been suggested such as, for example, meson or hyperon condensation and/or deconfined…
We address the possibility of the appearance of a charged kaon condensate in neutron star cores described within a generalized Skyrme model. Our treatment of strange degrees of freedom is based on the Bound State Approach by Callan and…
We explore kaon condensation using the bound-state approach to the Skyrme model on a 3-sphere. The condensation occurs when the energy required to produce a $K^-$ falls below the electron fermi level. This happens at the baryon number…
The cooling of neutron stars by URCA processes in the kaon-condensed neutron star matter for various forms of nuclear symmetry energy is investigated. The kaon-nucleon interactions are described by a chiral lagrangian. Nuclear matter energy…
In the present work the conjunction of chiral SU(3) model with QCD sum rules is employed to explore the possibility of $\rho$ meson condensation in neutron stars. The quark and gluon condensates in terms of which the in-medium masses of…
