Correct Calculation

We calculate the nonzero-temperature correction to the beta equilibrium condition in nuclear matter under neutron star merger conditions, in the temperature range 1MeV<T≲5MeV. We improve on previous work using a consistent description of nuclear matter based on the IUF and SFHo relativistic mean field models. This includes using relativistic dispersion relations for the nucleons, which we show is essential in these models. We find that the nonzero-temperature correction can be of order 10 to 20 MeV, and plays an important role in the correct calculation of Urca rates, which can be wrong by factors of 10 or more if it is neglected.

Walecka Model

In this paper we use a polytropic approximation to the equation of state for the interior of neutrons stars, described by relativistic hadronic mean field models. In this approximation, it is possible to obtain analytic expressions for the sound velocity and the incompressibility at the star center. We found a correlation between these quantities and the star mass. Using two well-known parametrizations of the nonlinear Walecka model for nuclear matter composed only of protons, neutrons and electron in β equilibrium, we obtain for a star mass of 1.43 M⊙ a central incompressibility Kc = (3000±100), around ten times the nuclear matter incompressibility, and a central sound velocity (v/c)2 ~ 0.3.

Background: We analyze several constraints on the nuclear equation of state (EOS) currently available from neutron star (NS) observations and laboratory experiments and study the existence of possible correlations among properties of nuclear matter at saturation density with NS observables. Methods: We use a set of different models that include several phenomenological EOSs based on Skyrme and relativistic mean field models as well as microscopic calculations based on different many-body approaches, i.e., the (Dirac–)Brueckner–Hartree–Fock theories, Quantum Monte Carlo techniques, and the variational method. Results: We find that almost all the models considered are compatible with the laboratory constraints of the nuclear matter properties as well as with the largest NS mass observed up to now, 2.14−0.09+0.10M⊙ for the object PSR J0740+6620, and with the upper limit of the maximum mass of about 2.3–2.5M⊙ deduced from the analysis of the GW170817 NS merger event. Conclusion: Our study shows that whereas no correlation exists between the tidal deformability and the value of the nuclear symmetry energy at saturation for any value of the NS mass, very weak correlations seem to exist with the derivative of the nuclear symmetry energy and with the nuclear incompressibility.
