The maximum and minimum mass of protoneutron stars in the Brueckner theory

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2015-05-18 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We study the structure of protoneutron stars within the finite-temperature Brueckner-Bethe-Goldstone theoretical approach, paying particular attention to how it is joined to a low-density nuclear equation of state (EOS). We find a slight sensitivity of the minimum value of the protoneutron star mass on the low-density equation of state, whereas the maximum mass is hardly affected.
