(Abridged) The recent measurement of the mass of two $2\, M_\odot$ pulsars has raised the question whether such large masses allow for the existence of exotic degrees of freedom, such as hyperons, inside neutron stars. In the present work…
The electroproduction of selected $p$- and $sd$-shell hypernuclei was studied within a many-body approach using realistic interactions between the constituent baryons. The cross sections were computed in distorted-wave impulse approximation…
This reports our recent studies on changes in properties of heavy hadrons containing at least a charm or a bottom quark in nuclear matter, and that the results for the $\Lambda^+_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ hypernuclei are studied quantitatively.…
Neutron stars provide unique conditions to study cold dense nuclear matter at extreme densities. Due to these extreme conditions additional hadronic degrees of freedom are expected to be populated,including hyperons. This talk will focus on…
We calculate saturation curves for strange hadron matter using recently constructed baryon-baryon potentials which are constrained by SU(3) symmetry. All possible interaction channels within the baryon octet (consisting of $N$, $\Lambda$,…
In the framework of relativistic-mean-field (RMF) models, we investigate the properties of light and heavy $\Lambda$ hyperclusters emersed in nuclear matter at various densities $n_{\mathrm{gas}}$ and proton fractions $Y_p$. In particular,…
In the standard picture of big-bang nucleosynthesis the yields of D, $^3$He, $^4$He, and $^7$Li only agree with their inferred primordial abundances if the fraction of critical density contributed by baryons is between $0.01h^{-2}$ and…
Neutron and proton driplines of single-$\Lambda$ and double-$\Lambda$ hypernuclei, $\Xi^{-}$ hypernuclei as well as normal nuclei are studied within a relativistic mean field approach using an extended form of the FSU Gold Lagrangian…
Beyond uranium heavy elements rapidly become increasingly unstable with respect to spontaneous fission as the proton number Z increases, because of the disruptive effect of the long-range Coulomb force. However, in the region just beyond Z…
Rapidity distributions of net hyperons ($\Lambda - \overline{\Lambda}$) are compared to distributions of participant protons ($p - \overline{p}$). Strangeness production (mean multiplicities of produced $\Lambda/\Sigma^0$ hyperons and…
The complete form of the equation of state of strangeness rich proto-neutron and neutron star matter has been obtained. The currently obtained lower value of the Lambda Lambda potential at the level of 5 MeV permits the existence of…
The $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ single-particle potentials in infinite nuclear matter are analyzed within a recently established chiral hyperon-nucleon ($YN$) interaction up to N$^2$LO in combination with an nucleon-nucleon interaction derived…
The nuclear density dependencies of the neutron and $\Sigma$ and $\Lambda$ hyperons are important inputs in the determination of the neutron star mass as the appearance of hyperons coming from strong attractions significantly changes the…
We study the properties of hypernuclei containing one lambda hyperon in the framework of the correlated basis function theory with Jastrow correlations. Fermi hypernetted chain integral equations are derived and used to evaluate energies…
Data on $\Lambda\Lambda$ hypernuclei provide a unique method to learn details about the strangeness S =- 2 sector of the baryon-baryon interaction. From the free space Bonn-J\"ulich potentials, determined from data on baryon-baryon…
We study to what extent the unique observation of $\Lambda\Lambda$ hypernuclei by their weak decay into known $\Lambda$ hypernuclei, with lifetimes of order 10$^{-10}$ s, rules out the existence of a deeply bound doubly-strange (${\cal…
The $\Lambda^{\ast}$-hypernuclei, which are bound states of $\Lambda(1405)$ and nuclei, are discussed as a possible interpretation of the $\bar{K}$-nuclei. The Bonn and Nijmegen potentials are extended and used as a phenomenological…
We review the present status of the experimental and theoretical developments in the field of strangeness in nuclei and neutron stars. We start by discussing the $\bar K N$ interaction, that is governed by the presence of the…

We study the $^1S_0$ superfluidity of $\Lambda$ hyperons in neutron star matter and neutron stars. We use the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory to calculate the properties of neutron star matter. In the RMF approach, the meson-hyperon…
