We derive the empirical formulas for the neutron star mass and gravitational redshift as a function of the central density and specific combination of the nuclear saturation parameters, which are applicable to the stellar models constructed…

Low-mass neutron stars are directly associated with the nuclear saturation parameters because their central density is definitely low. We have already found a suitable combination of nuclear saturation parameters for expressing the neutron…

The bulk properties of nuclear matter and neutron stars with the newly generated relativistic interaction DBHP are investigated which provides an opportunity to modify the coupling parameters keeping in view the finite nuclei, nuclear…

We calculate the maximum mass of neutron stars for three different equations of state (EOS) based on generalized Skyrme functionals that are simultaneously fitted to essentially all the 2003 nuclear mass data (the rms deviation is 0.58 MeV…
