The PREX group reported a new skin value, $r_{\rm skin}^{208}({\rm PREX2}) = 0.283 \pm 0.071{\rm fm}$. Using the chiral (Kyushu) $g$-matrix folding model with the proton and neutron densities determined with D1S+GHFB+AMP, we determined…

Neutron stars are some of the densest manifestations of massive objects in the universe. They are ideal astrophysical laboratories for testing theories of dense matter physics and provide connections among nuclear physics, particle physics…

Recent experimental observation suggests that neutron decay is always accompanied by emission of electron while in 1% of cases proton is not emitted. We develop a scenario kinematically compatible with experimental observation, where…
In this letter, we present a new, weakly model-dependent, test for ``standard" equations of state (EoS) models that disfavor sharp and strong phase-transitions, by using neutron star mass and radius observations. We show the radii of two…
