Description

In this contribution, I will start with an overview of different types of equation of state modelling of neutron star matter in the Bayesian formalism, to demonstrate the িmpact of different experimental and observational constraints. Further, I will present equations of state at finite temperature obtained with Brussels-Skyrme-on-a-Grid (BSkG) energy density functionals developed at Brussels, which are unified across the crust and core of the neutron star environment. These models have demonstrated remarkable accuracy over the whole nuclear chart on the masses, and fission barriers of nuclei, but at the same time they also satisfy recent astrophysical constraints. I will also outline the impact of our calculations at finite temperatures on the composition of the crust in the neutron stars. Our next goal is to apply these equations of state in the end-to-end simulation of binary neutron star mergers.
