Constraints on the neutron drip-line with the newly observed 39Na

The recently observed weakly-bound 39Na provides a stringent theoretical constraint on the neutron drip-line. We studied the properties of drip-line nuclei around 39Na with the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method and various Skyrme interactions. We adopted the extended SkM*-ext1 parameterization which can properly describe two-neutron separation energies of oxygen and fluorine isotopes and deformations at the center of the "island of inversion". Systematic calculations of drip lines of O, F, Ne, Na, Mg, and Al isotopes have been performed. We infer that 42Mg is weakly bound and 45Al is less weakly bound. 44Mg and 47Al could be barely existed. We also demonstrated the deformed halo properties of 39Na. Our studies could be valuable for experimental explorations of drip-line nuclei in the forthcoming FRIB and other rare-isotope beam facilities .
