Abstract

We study the properties of neutron stars adopting relativistic equations of state of neutron star matter, calculated in the framework of the relativistic Brueckner–Hartree–Fock approximation for electrically charge neutral neutron star matter in beta–equilibrium. For higher densities more baryons (hyperons etc.) are included by means of the relativistic Hartree– or Hartree–Fock approximation. The special features of the different approximations and compositions are discussed in detail. Besides standard neutron star properties special emphasis is put on the limiting periods of neutron stars, for which the Kepler criterion and gravitation–reaction instabilities are considered. Furthermore the cooling behaviour of neutron stars is investigated, too. For comparison we also give the outcome for some nonrelativistic equations of state.
