We evaluate global asymmetry in the luminosities of neutrinos emitted from rapidly-rotating proto-neutron stars (PNS's). We build axisymmetric models of PNS's in mechanical equilibrium with rotation by adding prescribed angular momentum…

The density dependence of the symmetry energy in the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter (N/Z $>$ 1) is important for understanding the structure of systems as diverse as the atomic nuclei and neutron stars. Due to a proper lack…
The quark-meson coupling model which we have developed previously is extended to incorporate the $\delta$ meson. It is then used to study the Nolen-Schiffer anomaly and isospin symmetry breaking in nuclear matter. We find that, in…
