Structure and properties of neutron stars in the Relativistic Mean - Field Theory

Properties of rotating neutron stars with the use of relativistic mean-field theory are considered. The performed analysis of neutron star matter is based on the nonlinear Lgrangian density. The presence of nonlinear interaction of vector mesons modifies the density dependence of the rho field and influences bulk parameters of neutron stars. The observed quasi-periodic X-ray oscillations of low mass X-ray binaries can be used in order to constrain the equation of state of neutron star matter. Having assumed that the maximum frequency of the quasi periodic oscillations originates at the circular orbit it is possible to estimate masses and radii of neutron stars.Comment: 18 pages, latex2e, 10 colour eps figures, submitted to International Journal of Modern Physic

The quark strange star in the enlarged Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

The strange quark star is investigated within the enlarged SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL). The stable quark star exists till maximal configutation with rho_m=3.1, 10^15, g/cm^3 with M_m=1.61, M_Sun and R_m=8.74, km is reached. Strange quarks appear for density above rho_c=9.84 g/cm^3 for the quark star with radius R_c=8.003 km and M_c=0.77, M_Sun. The comparison of a quark star properties obtained in the Quark Mean Field (QMF) approach to a neutron star model constructed within the Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) theory is presented.Comment: 23 pages, iop latex2e + hyperref, 11 figures, to appear in NJ
