Why ns and bh mass distribition is bimodal?... The conclusion is drawn that this distribution can be obtained only by a magneto-rotational mechanism for the supernovae with sufficiently long time of the field amplification, and a soft equation of state for neutron stars with limiting masses \sim1.5-1.6M_\odot....
Creation of a dense torus in the coalescence of a black hole with a neutron star... A neutron star with a soft equation of state (polytrope with index Gamma=5/3) is completely disrupted, and a fairly large and long-lived accretion torus is formed
The qcd equation of state and quark star properties... Some implications of the resulting soft equation of state of quark matter at low temperatures are pointed out....
A model comparison of resonance lifetime modifications, a soft equation of state and non-gaussian effects on $\pi-\pi$ correlations at fair/ags energies...slightly.Secondly, with a soft equation of state with momentum dependence, the measuredtransverse momentum dependent HBT radii and $R_O/R_S$ ratio can be describedfairly well....
