Neutron-star matter within the energy-density functional theory and neutron-star structure

Anthea Francesca Fantina, N. Chamel, John Michael Pearson, S. Goriely

Abstract

In this lecture, we will present some nucleonic equations of state of neutron-star matter calculated within the nuclear energy-density functional theory using generalized Skyrme functionals developed by the Brussels-Montreal collaboration. These equations of state provide a consistent description of all regions of a neutron star. The global structure of neutron stars predicted by these equations of state will be discussed in connection with recent astrophysical observations.
