S. ; Dai, Z. G. ; Yao, C. C. Abstract We study the properties of dense matter in neutron stars and calculate the structure of the stars based on the Zimanyi & Moszkowski (ZM) model in the relativistic mean-field theory. We also compare these results with those based on the Boguta & Bodmer (BB) model with a recent satisfactory parameter set. The two models satisfy the requirements from the observations of the masses of binary radio pulsars, the rotation frequencies of millisecond pulsars, the redshifts of the e+ annihilation lines of some γ-ray bursts if they are neutron stars, and the crustal moment of inertia of neutron stars deduced from the glitch events. Other observations may provide a way to discriminate between the two models. We suggest that the most important observational discriminant between these two models is found by observing the surface radiation of neutron stars, since the BB model leads to a large photon fraction of neutron star matter and rapid cooling of neutron stars, but the ZM model does not.
