Abstract
Using the well known quantum hadrodynamics (QHD), we study the effects of meson-hyperon coupling constants on the onset of hyperons in dense nuclear matter. We use the SU(3) symmetry group to fix all these coupling constants, constrained to experimental nuclear matter results and astrophysical observations. While the discovery of massive pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348+0432 points towards a very stiff equation of state at very large densities, results from heavy ion collisions point in opposite direction for densities below five times the nuclear saturation density. We study some well known parametrizations and see that most of them cannot satisfy both types of constraints. Indeed, although in our model we can simulate a 2.25 $M_\odot$ hyperonic neutron star, the heavy ion collision constraints limits the maximum mass around 2.06 $M_\odot$.
