Hypernuclear Physics and Compact Stars

Abstract

Hypernuclear physics plays a decisive role for several features of compact star physics. I review the impact of hypernuclear potential depths, two-body hyperon-nucleon and hyperon three-body forces as well as hyperon-hyperon interactions on the maximum mass, the mass-radius relation, and cooling properties of neutron stars.
