Finite nuclei to neutron stars with mean field models

Chiranjib Mondal (Universitat de Barcelona, Spain)

Two nucleons interact with each other by nuclear force in a bound state. In nature, it occurs inside a terrestrial nucleus or at the core of a neutron star. Nuclear degree of freedom inside these enormously different systems makes nuclear theory so fascinating and at the same time so diffcult to crack down. In the first part of the talk I will try to explain how experimental data on giant resonances in nuclei along with observed maximum mass of neutron star can explain the recently observed GW170817 data on tidal deformabilty of two merging neutron stars using Skyrme force. In the second part of the talk I will try to explain the construction of equation of state for inner crust of neutron stars with finite range Gogny force. Main focus will be to point out the quantal shell and pairing effects, which can play a crucial role in constituting the inner crust.
