The radii and tidal deformabilities of neutron stars are investigated in the framework of relativistic mean-field (RMF) model with different density-dependent behaviors of symmetry energy. To study the effects of symmetry energy on the properties of neutron stars, an $omega$ meson and $rho$ meson coupling term is included in a popular RMF Lagrangian, i.e. the TM1 parameter set, which is used for the widely used supernova equation of state (EoS) table. The coupling constants relevant to the vector-isovector meson, $rho$, are refitted by a fixed symmetry energy at subsaturation density and its slope at saturation density, while other coupling constants remain the same as the original ones in TM1 so as to update the supernova EoS table. The radius and mass of maximum neutron stars are not so sensitive to the symmetry energy in these family TM1 parameterizations. However, the radii at intermediate mass region are strongly correlated with the slope of symmetry energy. Furthermore, the dimensionless tidal deformabilities of neutron stars are also calculated within the associated Love number. We find that its value at $1.4 M_odot$ has a linear correlation to the slope of symmetry energy being different from the previous studied. With the latest constraints of tidal deformabilities from GW170817 event, the slope of symmetry energy at nuclear saturation density should be smaller than $60$ MeV in the family TM1 parameterizations. This fact supports the usage of lower symmetry energy slope for the update supernova EoS, which is applicable to simulations of neutron star merger. Furthermore, the analogous analysis are also done within the family IUFSU parameter sets. It is found that the correlations between the symmetry energy slope with the radius and tidal deformability at $1.4 M_odot$ have very similar linear relations in these RMF models.

Background: The nuclear symmetry energy $E_{sym}(rho)$ encodes information about the energy necessary to make nuclear systems more neutron-rich. While its slope parameter L at the saturation density $rho_0$ of nuclear matter has been relatively well constrained by recent astrophysical observations and terrestrial nuclear experiments, its curvature $K_{rm{sym}}$ characterizing the $E_{sym}(rho)$ around $2rho_0$ remains largely unconstrained. Over 520 calculations for $E_{sym}(rho)$ using various nuclear theories and interactions in the literature have predicted several significantly different $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlations. Purpose: If a unique $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlation of $E_{sym}(rho)$ can be firmly established, it will enable us to progressively better constrain the high-density behavior of $E_{sym}(rho)$ using the available constraints on its slope parameter L. We investigate if and by how much the different $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlations may affect neutron star observables. Method: A meta-model of nuclear Equation of States (EOSs) with three representative $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlation functions is used to generate multiple EOSs for neutron stars. We then examine effects of the $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlation on the crust-core transition density and pressure as well as the radius and tidal deformation of canonical neutron stars. Results:The $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlation affects significantly both the crust-core transition density and pressure. It also has strong imprints on the radius and tidal deformability of canonical neutron stars especially at small L values. The available data from LIGO/VIRGO and NICER set some useful limits for the slope L but can not distinguish the three representative $K_{rm{sym}}-L$ correlations considered.
Neutron star tidal deformability extracted from gravitational wave data provides a novel probe to the interior neutron star structures and the associated nuclear equation of state (EOS). Instead of the popular composition of nucleons and leptons in n eutron stars, we include hyperons and examine the role of hyperons in the tidal deformability and its impact on the symmetry energy in a relativistic mean-field approach with the density-dependent parametrizations. The hyperons are found to have significant impact on the deformability, correlated sensitively with the onset density and fraction of hyperons in neutron star matter. Moderately lower onset density of hyperons can yield considerable modification to the tidal deformability and shift its inference on the nuclear EOS. The future measurements of the tidal deformability at multi-fiducial star masses are anticipated to lift the degeneracy between the contributions from the hyperon component and symmetry energy.
There is a growing interest in investigating modified theories of gravity, primarily, with the aim of explaining the universes accelerated expansion, which has been confirmed by several independent observations. Compact objects, like neutron stars, e xhibit strong gravity effects and therefore are used to study modified gravity theories. We use the $f(R)=R+aR^2$ model, where R is the Ricci scalar and $a$ is a free parameter. This model has been studied both perturbatively and non-perturbatively. However, it was found that perturbative methods results in nonphysical solutions for the neutron stars. In this paper, we examine neutron star properties, such as mass, radius, tidal deformability in non-perturbative $f(R)$ gravity model with density dependant relativistic equation of state with different particle compositions. The strange particles in the core of NS in the form of ${bf Lambda}$ hyperons, $K^-$ condensate, and quarks are considered. We have observed that while the mass-radius relation allows for a wide range of parameter $a$, when tidal deformability is considered, the parameter $a$ is constrained down by one order.
The Physical origin of the nuclear symmetry energy is studied within the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. Based on the nuclear binding energies calculated with and without mean isovector potential for several isobaric chains we conform earlier S kyrme-Hartree-Fock result that the nuclear symmetry energy strength depends on the mean level spacing $epsilon (A)$ and an effective mean isovector potential strength $kappa (A)$. A detaied analysis of isospin dependence of the two components contributing to the nuclear symmetry energy reveals a quadratic dependence due to the mean-isoscalar potential, $simepsilon T^2$, and, completely unexpectedly, the presence of a strong linear component $simkappa T(T+1+epsilon/kappa)$ in the isovector potential. The latter generates a nuclear symmetry energy in RMF theory that is proportional to $E_{sym}sim T(T+1)$ at variance to the non-relativistic calculation. The origin of the linear term in RMF theory needs to be further explored.
