Editor’s Picks Phase transitions in neutron stars by V. Dexheimer et al DOI: 10.1142/S0218301318300084

In this paper, we review the most common descriptions for the first-order phase transition to deconfined matter in the core of neutron stars. We also present a new description of these phase transitions in the core of proto-neutron stars, in which more constraints are enforced so as to include trapped neutrinos. Finally, we calculate the emission of gravitational waves associated with deconfinement phase transitions, discuss the possibility of their detection, and how this would provide information about the equation of state of dense matter.

Spectroscopies of rod- and pear-shaped nuclei in covariant density functional theory by Pengwei Zhao and Zhipan Li DOI: 10.1142/S0218301318300072

The spectroscopic properties play a crucial role in understanding the structure of nuclei, in particular, the shape and shape transitions of nuclei. In recent years, the exotic shapes of nuclear systems, such as the rod and pear shapes, have attracted a lot of attention. Covariant density functional theory (CDFT) has become a standard tool for nuclear structure calculations, and it provides a global and accurate description of nuclear ground states and excitations. In the present paper, we briefly review the recent progress in covariant density functional theory (DFT) for spectroscopic properties of the rod- and pear-shaped nuclei with the cranking calculations in a rotating mean field and the collective Hamiltonian method beyond mean field. The novel linear-chain structure of alpha clustering is discussed with the cranking approach, and low-lying spectra of pear-shaped nuclei are illustrated with the quadrupole-octupole collective Hamiltonian.
