A set of unified relativistic mean-field equations of state for hyperonic compact stars recently built in [M. Fortin, Ad. R. Raduta, S. Avancini, and C. Providencia, Phys. Rev. D {bf 101}, 034017 (2020)] is used to study the thermal evolution of non-magnetized and non-rotating spherically-symmetric isolated and accreting neutron stars under different hypothesis concerning proton $S$-wave superfluidity. These equations of state have been obtained in the following way: the slope of the symmetry energy is in agreement with experimental data; the coupling constants of $Lambda$ and $Xi$-hyperons are determined from experimental hypernuclear data; uncertainties in the nucleon-$Sigma$ interaction potential are accounted for; current constraints on the lower bound of the maximum neutron star mass are satisfied. Within the considered set of equations of state, the presence of hyperons is essential for the description of the cooling/heating curves. One of the conclusions we reach is that the criterion of best agreement with observational data leads to different equations of states and proton $S$-wave superfluidity gaps when applied separately for isolated neutron stars and accreting neutron stars in quiescence. This means that at least in one situation the traditional simulation framework that we employ is not complete and/or the equations of state are inappropriate. Another result is that, considering equations of state which do not allow for nucleonic dUrca or allow for it only in very massive NS, the low luminosity of SAX J1808 requires a repulsive $Sigma$-hyperon potential in symmetric nuclear matter in the range $U_Sigma^{(N)}approx 10-30$ MeV. This range of values for $U_Sigma^{(N)} $ is also supported by the criterion of best agreement with all available data from INS and XRT.

We study the properties of hot beta-stable nuclear matter using equations of state derived within the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach at finite temperature including consistent three-body forces. Simple and accurate parametrizations of the finite-temperature equations of state are provided. The properties of hot neutron stars are then investigated within this framework, in particular the temperature dependence of the maximum mass. We find very small temperature effects and analyze the interplay of the different contributions.
We model the cooling of hybrid neutron stars combining a microscopic nuclear equation of state in the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach with different quark models. We then analyze the neutron star cooling curves predicted by the different models and single out the preferred ones. We find that the possibility of neutron p-wave pairing can be excluded in our scenario.
The effect of pasta phases on the quark-hadron phase transition is investigated for a set of relativistic mean-field equations of state for both hadron and quark matter. The results of the full numerical solution with pasta phases are compared with those of an interpolating construction used in previous works, for which we demonstrate an adequate description of the numerical results. A one-to-one mapping of the free parameter of the construction to the physical surface tension of the quark-hadron interface is obtained for which a fit formula is given. For each pair of quark and hadron matter models the critical value of the surface tension is determined, above which the phase transition becomes close to the Maxwell construction. This result agrees well with earlier theoretical estimates. The study is extended to neutron star matter in beta equilibrium with electrons and muons and is applied to investigate the effect of pasta phases on the structure of hybrid compact stars and the robustness of a possible third family solution.
The equation of state (EoS) of hot and dense matter is a fundamental input to describe static and dynamical properties of neutron stars, core-collapse supernovae and binary compact-star mergers. We review the current status of the EoS for compact objects, that have been studied with both ab-initio many-body approaches and phenomenological models. We limit ourselves to the description of EoSs with purely nucleonic degrees of freedom, disregarding the appearance of strange baryonic matter and/or quark matter. We compare the theoretical predictions with different data coming from both nuclear physics experiments and astrophysical observations. Combining the complementary information thus obtained greatly enriches our insights into the dense nuclear matter properties. Current challenges in the description of the EoS are also discussed, mainly focusing on the model dependence of the constraints extracted from either experimental or observational data (specifically, concerning the symmetry energy), the lack of a consistent and rigorous many-body treatment at zero and finite temperature of the matter encountered in compact stars (e.g. problem of cluster formation and extension of the EoS to very high temperatures), the role of nucleonic three-body forces, and the dependence of the direct URCA processes on the EoS.
We explore the effects of strangeness and $Delta$ resonance in baryonic matter and compact stars within the relativistic-mean-field (RMF) models. The covariant density functional PKDD is adopted for $N$-$N$ interaction, parameters fixed based on finite hypernuclei and neutron stars are taken for the hyperon-meson couplings, and the universal baryon-meson coupling scheme is adopted for the $Delta$-meson couplings. In light of the recent observations of GW170817 with the dimensionless combined tidal deformability $197 leq bar{Lambda}leq 720$, we find it is essential to include the $Delta$ resonances in compact stars, and small $Delta$-$rho$ coupling $g_{rho Delta}$ is favored if the mass $2.27{}_{-0.15}^{+0.17} M_odot$ of PSR J2215+5135 is confirmed.
