We present explicit examples to show that the `compatibility criterion' is capable of providing a {\em necessary} and {\em sufficient} condition for any regular configuration to be compatible with the state of hydrostatic equilibrium. This…
We study equation of state (EOS) of an accreting neutron star crust. Usually, such EOS is obtained assuming (implicitly) that the free (unbound) neutrons and nuclei in the inner crust move together. We argue, that this assumption violates…

We explore the density variation of the correlation coefficient of the key parameters of the nuclear equation of state (EoS) with the bulk and crustal properties of neutron stars. The analysis was performed using two diverse sets of nuclear…

We demonstrate that observations of glitches in the Vela pulsar can be used to investigate the strength of the crust-core coupling in a neutron star, and suggest that recovery from the glitch is dominated by torque exerted by the…
Various neutron star (NS) models correspond to an unrealistic mass range $\leq 0.5M_\odot$ for the Vela pulsar, if the observational constraints of the glitch healing parameter in the starquake model ($Q = I_{\rm core}/I_{\rm total} \leq…
To model the structure of neutron stars (NSs) theoretically,it is common to consider layers with different density regimes. Matching the equation of state (EoS) for the crust and core and obtaining a suitable description of these extreme…
The equation of state (EoS) $P = P (\rho, ...)$ -- pressure as a function of density and other thermodynamical quantities -- is what generates particularities of mass--radius distribution $M (R)$ for super--dense compact stellar bodies, the…
From the very first multimessenger event of GW170817, clean robust constraints can be obtained for the tidal deformabilities of the two stars involved in the merger, which provides us unique opportunity to study the equation of states…
Recently, we have shown that dynamically stable ergostar solutions (equilibrium neutron stars that contain an ergoregion) with a compressible and causal equation of state exist [A. Tsokaros, M. Ruiz, L. Sun, S. L. Shapiro, and K. Ury\=u,…
Neutron star crust, formed via accretion of matter from a companion in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB), has an equation of state (EOS) stiffer than that of catalyzed matter. At a given neutron star mass, M, the radius of a star with an…
Using a simple model of a neutron star with a perfectly rigid crust constructed and a set of crust and core equations of state that span the range of nuclear experimental uncertainty in the density dependence of the symmetry energy from 25…
We construct constant rest-mass sequences of equilibrium models of differentially rotating neutron stars which resemble binary neutron star post-merger remnants. For a more realistic description of the post-merger remnant, we impose that…
Recently, an instability due to the nonlinear coupling of p-modes to g-modes in tidally deformed neutron stars in coalescing binaries has been studied in some detail. The result is significant because it could influence the inspiral and…

We investigate the radial stability of neutron stars under conditions where their composition may or may not remain in chemical equilibrium during oscillations. Using different equations of state that include nucleons, hyperons, and/or…
