Nuclear Equation of State and Neutron Star Structure
arXiv:nucl-th/0312012
Abstract
The hadronic equation of state for a neutron star is discussed with a particular emphasis on the symmetry energy. The results of several microscopic approaches are compared and also a new calculation in terms of the self-consistent Green function method is presented. In addition possible constraints on the symmetry energy coming from empirical information from the neutron skin of finite nuclei are considered.
