We mainly focus on the liquid-gas instabilities that occur at sub-saturation densities, leading to the decomposition of the homogeneous matter into a clusterized phase. Such study is related to the description of neutron-star crust (at zero temperature) and of supernova dynamics (at finite temperature).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-11-18T20:25:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.65.-f", "24.10.Jv", "26.60.-c", "95.30.Tg" ], "keywords": [ "compact stars", "skyrme models", "cluster formation", "non-relativistic skyrme-type interactions", "zero temperature" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2008, "month": "Nov", "volume": 78, "number": 5, "pages": "055801" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 792168, "adsabs": "2008PhRvC..78e5801D" } } }
