Abstract
We report variational calculations of the equation of state of hot and cold, nuclear and neutron matter. The calculations cover a wide density range of interest in heavy-ion collisions and astrophysics. The “hot” calculations are limited to temperatures less than 20 MeV. A realistic nuclear hamiltonian that contains two- and three-nucleon interactions and fits the nucléon-nucléon scattering, as well as nuclear matter data, is used. Neutron star structure calculations are reported and their sensitivity to the three-neutron interactipn is examined. The liquid-vapor phase equilibrium, as well as the behavior of the effective mass in nuclear matter is discussed.
