The determination of nuclear symmetry energy, and in particular, its density dependence, is a long-standing problem for nuclear physics community. Previous studies have found that the product of electric dipole polarizability $\alpha_D$ and…
We use Bayesian analysis in order to constrain the equation of state for nuclear matter from astrophysical data related to the recent measurements from the NICER mission, LIGO/Virgo collaboration, and probability distributions of mass and…
We show that the neutron skin thickness $\Delta r_{np}$ of heavy nuclei is uniquely fixed by the symmetry energy density slope $L({\rho})$ at a subsaturation cross density $\rho_c \approx 0.11$ fm$^{-3}$ rather than at saturation density…
The nuclear symmetry energy plays important role on the structure of finite nuclei as well as on the bulk properties of neutron stars. However, its values at high densities are completely uncertain and the corresponding experimental data…

Nuclear structure observables usually most effectively probe the properties of nuclear matter at subsaturation densities rather than at saturation density. We demonstrate that the electric dipole polarizibility $\alpha _ {\text{D}}$ in…
