A Complete Equation of State for Astrophysical Simulations
Nuclear Theory

Abstract
We construct a complete equation of state (EOS) covering a wide range of temperature, proton fraction, and baryon density for the use of astrophysical simulations. We employ the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory to describe nuclear interactions and adopt the Thomas-Fermi approximation to describe the nonuniform nuclear matter. The uniform matter and nonuniform matter are studied consistently using the same RMF theory.
