Phase diagram of nuclear ``pasta' and its uncertainties in supernova cores (2007)
Sonoda, Hidetaka, Watanabe, Gentaro, Sato, Katsuhiko, Yasuoka, Kenji, Ebisuzaki, Toshikazu
We examine the model dependence of the phase diagram of inhomogeneous nulcear matter in supernova cores using the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD). Inhomogeneous matter includes crystallized matter...
Impact of nuclear "pasta" on neutrino transport in collapsing stellar cores (2007)
Sonoda, Hidetaka, Watanabe, Gentaro, Sato, Katsuhiko, Takiwaki, Tomoya, Yasuoka, Kenji, Ebisuzaki, Toshikazu
Nuclear ``pasta'', nonspherical nuclei in dense matter, is predicted to occur in collapsing supernova cores. We show how pasta phases affect the neutrino transport cross section via weak neutral...
Recent progress on understanding "pasta" phases in dense stars (2005)
Watanabe, Gentaro, Sonoda, Hidetaka
In cores of supernovae and crusts of neutron stars, nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., which are referred to as nuclear "pasta." Recently, we have been studying the...
Dynamical Simulation of Nuclear "Pasta": Soft Condensed Matter in Dense Stars (2005)
Watanabe, Gentaro, Sonoda, Hidetaka
More than twenty years ago, it was predicted that nuclei can adopt interesting shapes, such as rods or slabs, etc., in the cores of supernovae and the crusts of neutron stars. These non-spherical...
