Star clusters in isothermal spheres are studied from a thermodynamic point of view. New density profiles are presented, that describe the collapsed phase at low temperatures. At the transition a set of binaries is formed that carries 13 %…
Henon sought the most general spherical potential in which the radial periods of orbits depended only on energy. He named this potential the isochrone, and discovered that it provided a good representation of data for globular clusters. He…
Neutron stars offer the opportunity to study the behaviour of matter at densities and temperatures inaccessible to terrestrial experiments. Gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star coalescences can constrain the neutron-star…
Eccentric compact binaries pose not only a challenge for gravitational wave detectors, but also provide a probe into the nuclear equation of state if one of the objects is a neutron star. At the short pericenter passage, tidal interactions…
The physics of compact objects is one of the very actively developing branches of theoretical investigations, since the careful analysis of different models for the internal structure of these objects, their evolutionary characteristics and…
In this work, we investigate hot, isentropic compact stars in the limiting cases of static and maximally rotating configurations, focusing on how variations in the symmetry energy of the equation of state derived from covariant density…
The conventional background solution for the evolution of a single canonical inflaton field performs admirably in extreme scenarios such as the slow-roll phase (where the slow-roll parameter is much less than one) and the deep reheating era…
We analyse a simple model of the heat transfer to and from a small satellite orbiting round a solar system planet. Our approach considers the satellite isothermal, with external heat input from the environment and from internal energy…
The cooling of a compact star depends very sensitively on the state of dense matter at supranuclear densities, which essentially controls the neutrino emission, as well as on the structure of the stellar outer layers which control the…
We study the nuclear isentropic equation of state for a stellar matter composed of nucleons, hyperons, and $\Delta$-resonances. We investigate different snapshots of the evolution of a neutron star, from its birth as a lepton-rich…
The effects of density dependence of the symmetry energy on the collective modes and dynamical instabilities of cold and warm nuclear and stellar matter are studied in the framework of relativistic mean-field hadron models. The existence of…
In this contribution to the volume in memoriam of Michel Henon, we thought appropriate to look at his early scientific work devoted to the dynamics of large assemblies of interacting masses. He predicted in his PhD thesis that, in such a…
The evolution of globular clusters due to 2-body relaxation results in an outward flow of energy and at some stage all clusters need a central energy source to sustain their evolution. Henon provided the insight that we do not need to know…
We revisit in this note the H\'enon's isochrone problem. By using the standard Abel inversion technique for one-dimensional motion, we recover in a simple way the H\'enon's parabolae and get all isochrone central potentials under mild…
One of the largest sources of uncertainty in the computation of globular cluster isochrones and hence in the age determination of globular clusters is the lack of a rigorous description of convection. Therefore, we calibrated the…
Compact binaries consisting of neutron stars / black holes on eccentric orbit undergo a perturbed Keplerian motion. The perturbations are either of relativistic origin or are related to the spin, mass quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments…
The core of a neutron star contains several species of particles, whose relative equilibrium concentrations are determined by the local density. As the star spins down, its centrifugal force decreases continuously, and the star contracts.…
Using the Euler-Maclaurin summation we calculate analytically the internal energy for non-interacting bosons confined within a harmonic oscillator potential. The specific heat shows a sharp $\lambda$-like peak indicating a condensation into…
We consider compact binary systems, modeled in general relativity as vacuum or perfect-fluid spacetimes with a helical Killing vector k^\alpha, heuristically, the generator of time-translations in a corotating frame. Systems that are…
Isochrone potentials, as defined by Michel H\'enon in the fifties, are spherically symmetric potentials within which a particle orbits with a radial period that is independent of its angular momentum. Isochrone potentials encompass the…
