In this contribution nuclear constraints on the equation of state for a neutron star are discussed. A combined fit to nuclear masses and charge radii leads to improved values for the symmetry energy and its derivative at nuclear saturation…
We discuss three topics related to the neutron star (NS) mass spectrum. At first we discuss the possibility to form low-mass ($ M \stackrel{<}{\sim} 1 M_{\odot}$) and suggest this is possible only due to fragmentation of rapidly rotating…
Neutron-star radii provide useful information on the equation of state of neutron rich matter. Particularly interesting is the density dependence of the equation of state (EOS). For example, the softening of the EOS at high density, where…

In this work we present a newly constructed equation of state (EoS) --applicable to stellar core collapse and neutron star mergers--, including the entire baryon octet. Our EoS is compatible with the main constraints from nuclear physics…
Neutron stars (NSs) are excellent natural laboratories to constrain gravity on strong field regime and nuclear matter in extreme conditions. Motivated by the recent discovery of a compact object with $2.59^{+0.08}_{-0.09} M_\odot$ in the…
The constituents of cold dense matter are still far from being understood. However, neutron star observations such as the recently observed pulsar PSR J1614-2230 with a mass of 1.97+/-0.04 M_solar help to considerably constrain the hadronic…
The radius $R_{1.4}$ of neutron stars (NSs) with a mass of 1.4 M$_{\odot}$ has been extracted consistently in many recent studies in the literature. Using representative $R_{1.4}$ data, we infer high-density nuclear symmetry energy…
