MASS, RADIUS, AND MOMENT OF INERTIA FOR NEUTRON-STARS

Using results from energy calculations of "neutron matter," we construct various equations of state. From these equations of state, together with the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations derived from Einstein's general theory of relativity, we calculate quantities such as pressure, mass density, mass energy density, total mass, radius, and moment of inertia for configurations described in the models. Comparison is made with calculations based on other nuclear potentials and nuclear energy calculations, and our results are in reasonable agreement with results from observational data.
