We present a unified description of dense matter and neutron-star structure based on simple but physically motivated models. Starting from the thermodynamics of degenerate Fermi gases, we construct an equation of state for cold, catalyzed…
The equation-of-state (EOS) parameter $\phi \equiv P/\varepsilon$, defined as the ratio of pressure to energy density, encapsulates the fundamental response of matter under extreme compression. Its value at the center of the most massive…

We obtain an approximate global stationary and axisymmetric solution of Einstein's equations which can be thought as a simple star model: a self-gravitating perfect fluid ball with a differential rotation motion pattern. Using the…
In this article, we provide a pedagogical review of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation and its solutions which describe static, spherically symmetric gaseous stars in general relativity. Our discussion starts with a systematic…

We solve the dynamical GR equations for the spherically symmetric evolution of compact stars in the vicinity of the maximum mass, for which instability sets in according to linear perturbation theory. The calculations are done with the…
Pure hadronic compact stars, above a limiting value ($\approx$1.6 M$_\odot$) of their gravitational masses, to which predictions of most of other equations of state (EoSs) are restricted, can be reached from the equation of state (EoS)…
Equations of state for strange quark matter in beta equilibrium at high densities are used to investigate the structure (mass and radius) of compact objects. The chromodielectric model is used as a general framework for the quark…
We study quasiequilibrium solutions of triaxially deformed rotating compact stars -- a generalization of Jacobi ellipsoids under relativistic gravity and compressible equations of state (EOS). For relatively stiff (piecewise) polytropic…
We investigate the neutron star (NS) equation of state (EOS) by incorporating multi-messenger data of GW170817, PSR J0030+0451, PSR J0740+6620, and state-of-the-art theoretical progresses, including the information from chiral effective…
The macroscopic model is formulated for a neutron star (NS) as a perfect liquid drop at the equilibrium. We use the leptodermic approximation $a/R\ll 1$, where $a$ is the crust thickness of the effective NS surface (ES), and $R$ is the mean…
Neutron stars are the dense and highly magnetic relics of supernova explosions of massive stars. The quest to constrain the Equation of State (EoS) of ultra-dense matter and thereby probe the behavior of matter inside neutron stars, is one…
We investigate whether compact stars having Tolman-like interior geometry admit conformal symmetry. Taking anisotropic pressure along the two principal directions within the compact object, we obtain physically relevant quantities such as…
Large neutron star masses as the recently measured $1.97\pm0.04$ M$_\odot$ for PSR J1614-2230 provide a valuable lower limit on the stiffness of the equation of state of dense, nuclear and quark matter. Complementary, the analysis of the…
