Through continuous progress in nuclear theory and experiment and an increasing number of neutron-star observations, a multitude of information about the equation of state (EOS) for matter at extreme densities is available. To constrain the…

Neutron stars with large masses $\sim 2M_{\odot}$ require the hard stiffness of equation of state (EoS) of neutron-star matter. On the other hand, hyperon mixing brings about remarkable softening of EoS. In order to solve this problem, a…
