Effects of the ω meson self coupling (OMSC) on the thermal properties of asymmetric nuclear matter (ANM) are studied within the framework of relativistic mean field (RMF) model that includes contributions of all possible mixed interactions among meson fields involved up to quartic order. In particular, we study the mechanical and chemical instabilities (spinodal), as well as the liquid-gas phase transition (binodal) at finite temperature. It is found that the onset of spinodal instabilities and the binodal curve are only marginally affected by variation of the OMSC parameter, whereas the binodal curve shows a strong correlation to the symmetry energy. Comparison with other ERMF parameter sets is also performed.

The impact of a δ meson field (the scalar-isovector channel) on asymmetric nuclear matter is studied within relativistic mean-field (RMF) models with both constant and density dependent (DD) nucleon-meson couplings. The Equation of State (EOS) for asymmetric nuclear matter and the neutron star properties by the different models are compared. We find that the δ-field in the constant coupling scheme leads to a larger repulsion in dense neutron-rich matter and to a definite splitting of proton and neutron effective masses, finally influencing the stability of the neutron stars. A broader analysis of possible δ-field effects is achieved considering also density dependent nucleon-meson coupling. A remarkable effect on the relation between mass and radius for the neutron stars is seen, showing a significant reduction of the radius along with a moderate mass reduction due to the increase of the effective δ coupling in high density regions.
