An equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter, describing both the neutron star crust and the liquid core, is calculated. It is based on the effective nuclear interaction SLy of the Skyrme type, which is particularly suitable for the application to the calculation of the properties of very neutron rich matter (Chabanat et al. 1997, 1998). The structure of the crust, and its EOS, is calculated in the T=0 approximation, and under the assumption of the ground state composition. The crust-core transition is a very weakly first-order phase transition, with relative density jump of about one percent. The EOS of the liquid core is calculated assuming (minimal) n-p-e-mu composition. Parameters of static neutron stars are calculated and compared with existing observational data on neutron stars. The minimum and maximum masses of static neutron stars are 0.094 M_sun and 2.05 M_sun, respectively. Effects of rotation on the minimum and the maximum mass of neutron stars are briefly discussed.

Recent developments in the theory of pure neutron matter and experiments concerning the symmetry energy of nuclear matter, coupled with recent measurements of high-mass neutron stars, now allow for relatively tight constraints on the equation of stat
e of dense matter. We review how these constraints are formulated and describe the implications they have for neutron stars and core-collapse supernovae. We also examine thermal properties of dense matter, which are important for supernovae and neutron star mergers, but which cannot be nearly as well constrained at this time by experiment. In addition, we consider the role of the equation of state in medium-energy heavy-ion collisions.
Apparent (radiation) radius of neutron star,R_infty, depends on the star gravitational mass in quite a different way than the standard coordinate radius in the Schwarzschild metric, R. We show that, for a broad set of equations of state of dense matt
er, R_infty(M_max) for the configurations with maximum allowable masses is very close to the absolute lower bound on R_infty at fixed M, resulting from the very definition of R_infty. Also, the value of R_infty at given M, corresponding to the maximum compactness (minimum R) of neutron star consistent with general relativity and condition v_sound<c, is only 0.6% higher than this absolute lower bound. Theoretical predictions for R_infty are compared with existing observational estimates of the apparent radii of neutron stars.
Theoretical models of the equation of state (EOS) of neutron-star matter (starting with the crust and ending at the densest region of the stellar core) are reviewed. Apart from a broad set of baryonic EOSs, strange quark matter, and even more exotic
(abnormal and Q-matter) EOSs are considered. Results of calculations of M_max for non-rotating neutron stars and exotic compact stars are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the dependence on the dense-matter EOS. Rapid rotation increases M_max, and this effect is studied for both neutron stars and exotic stars. Theoretical results are then confronted with measurements of masses of neutron stars in binaries, and the consequences of such a confrontation and their possible impact on the theory of dense matter are discussed.
Equilibrium configurations of cold neutron stars near the minimum mass are studied, using the recent equation of state SLy, which describes in a unified, physically consistent manner, both the solid crust and the liquid core of neutron stars. Results
are compared with those obtained using an older FPS equation of state of cold catalyzed matter. The value of M_minsimeq 0.09M_sun depends very weakly on the equation of state of cold catalyzed matter: it is 0.094 M_sun for the SLy model, and 0.088 M_sun for the FPS one. Central density at M_min is significantly lower than the normal nuclear density: for the SLy equation of state we get central density 1.7 10^{14} g/cm^3, to be compared with 2.3 10^{14} g/cm^3 obtained for the FPS one. Even at M_min, neutron stars have a small liquid core of radius of about 4 km, containing some 2-3% of the stellar mass. Neutron stars with 0.09 M_sun <M<0.17 M_sun are bound with respect to dispersed configuration of the hydrogen gas, but are unbound with respect to dispersed Fe^56. The effect of uniform rotation on the minimum-mass configuration of cold neutron stars is studied. Rotation increases the value of M_min; at rotation period of 10 ms the minimum mass of neutron stars increases to 0.13 M_sun, and corresponds to the mass-shedding (Keplerian) configuration. In the case of the shortest observed rotation period of radio pulsars 1.56 ms, minimum mass of uniformly rotating cold neutron stars corresponds to the mass-shedding limit, and is found at 0.61 M_sun for the SLy EOS and 0.54 M_sun for the FPS EOS.

The Bethe-Brueckner-Goldstone many-body theory of the Nuclear Equation of State is reviewed in some details. In the theory, one performs an expansion in terms of the Brueckner two-body scattering matrix and an ordering of the corresponding many-body
diagrams according to the number of their hole-lines. Recent results are reported, both for symmetric and for pure neutron matter, based on realistic two-nucleon interactions. It is shown that there is strong evidence of convergence in the expansion. Once three-body forces are introduced, the phenomenological saturation point is reproduced and the theory is applied to the study of neutron star properties. One finds that in the interior of neutron stars the onset of hyperons strongly softens the Nuclear Equation of State. As a consequence, the maximum mass of neutron stars turns out to be at the lower limit of the present phenomenological observation.
