Caloric curve for finite nuclei in relativistic models
In this work we calculate the caloric curve (excitation energy per particle
as a function of temperature) for finite nuclei within the non--linear Walecka
model for different proton fractions. It is shown that the caloric curve is
sensitive to the proton fraction. Freeze-out volume effects in the caloric
curve are also studied.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figure, 4 table
Quark matter equation of state and stellar properties
In this paper we study strange matter by investigating the stability window
within the QMDD model at zero temperature and check that it can explain the
very massive pulsar recently detected. We compare our results with the ones
obtained from the MIT bag model and see that the QMDD model can explain larger
masses, due to the stiffening of the equation of state
