abstract

Recently, in Malik23, a dataset of several EoS for purely nucleonic stellar matter based on a non-linear RMF model prescription, and constrained to properties of nuclear matter, to state-of-the-art chiral effective field theory calculations for low-density neutron matter, and to astrophysical data, were proposed. In this work, twenty one unified neutron star EoS were chosen from that dataset, in such a way that a large range of values of the slope of the symmetry energy at saturation is covered. Several quantities are calculated and discussed, such as the the proton fraction and the direct Urca behavior, the density dependence of the speed of sound and the trace anomaly, the crust-core transition properties, the compatibility with astrophysical observations, and the neutron matter properties from $\chi$EFT calculations and pQCD constraints. We construct unified EoS, where the outer crust is given by the BSk22 functional, and the inner crust is calculated from a CLD approximation. The core is purely nucleonic, made of protons, neutrons, electrons and muons, under charge neutrality and in $\beta-$equilibrium conditions. The correlation of the slope of the symmetry energy at saturation with the crust-core transition density and proton fraction is analysed, and equations that translate these relations are proposed. Moreover, the spectral representation for all the EOS according to the format proposed in Lindblom10 is given, which is a convenient representation to study quasi-periodic oscillations with realistic EOS. It is shown that several of these EoS have in the center of the most massive NS a speed of sound squared of the order of $\lesssim 0.5$. Most of the EoS predict a maximum central density of the order of about 6 times the nuclear saturation density. Three of the EoS satisfy all of the constraints imposed. All these EoS will be made available in the CompOSE platform.

    Including the delta meson in relativistic mean-field models widens the allowed symmetry energy slope and curvature, changing low-mass neutron star radii while leaving maximum mass nearly fixed.
