We discuss the relativistic nuclear equation of state (EOS) using a relativistic transport model in heavy-ion collisions. From the baryon flow for $Au + Au$ systems at SIS to AGS energies and above we find that the strength of the vector…

Neutron stars (NSs) have traditionally been viewed as cold, zero-temperature entities. However, recent progress in computational methods and theoretical modelling has opened up the exploration of finite temperature effects, marking a novel…

Understanding the equation of state (EOS) of neutron stars (NSs) is a fundamental challenge in astrophysics and nuclear physics. A first-order phase transition (FOPT) at high densities could lead to the formation of a quark core,…

The properties of superdense matter in neutron star (NS) cores control NS thermal states by affecting the efficiency of neutrino emission from NS interiors. To probe these properties we confront the theory of thermal evolution of NSs with…

We demonstrate that a seismic analysis of stars in their earliest evolutionary phases is a powerful method to identify young stars and distinguish their evolutionary states. The early star that is born from the gravitational collapse of a…

We investigate the neutron stars spin evolution (breaking, inclination angle evolution and radiative precession), taking into account the superfluidity of the neutrons in the star core. The neutron star is treated as a two-component system…
