Astrophysical phenomena explored through atomic nuclei

From the core of the matter to the stellar objects, the underlying physics relies significantly on how we understand atomic nuclei. On the other hand, the ever-puzzling nuclear interaction can be studied at various energy scales ranging from thermal neutrons to relativistic heavy-ion collisions and various sizes up to those of stars. I will introduce the correlations between finite nuclei and infinite matter, based on the liquid drop model. With the help of quantum field theory (QHD), I will elucidate modelling the nuclear interaction to describe infinite matter and neutron stars. We will discuss how the corroboration of terrestrial nuclear physics experiments, observation of neutron stars with our model could reveal properties of high-dense matter in general. I will highlight the importance of studying some exotic nuclei like the hypernuclei and proton emitters, in this regard.
