Many common Skyrme functionals present ferromagnetic instabilities or unrealistic density dependence of the spin-dependent Landau parameters. To solve these problems, we consider the Skyrme interaction as a density-functional rather than a…

We discuss the effects induced by the potential presence of hyperons in hot and ultra-dense matter within the context of neutron star mergers. Specifically, we address their effect on the dominant post-merger frequency of the gravitational…
A systematic study of the effects of hyperon couplings on hyperon superfluidity is conducted by using the relativistic mean field model. Combining the slope of symmetry energy, the hyperon couplings are determined in two ways -- by the…
An effective model is used to study the equation of state of warm strange hadronic matter with nucleons, Lambda-hyperons, Xi-hyperons, sigmastar and phi. In the calculation, a newest weak Y-Y interaction deduced from the recent observation…
