We present a field theoretical equation of state for nuclear matter and neutron-rich matter in β equilibrium using the chiral sigma model. The model includes an isoscalar vector field generated dynamically and reproduces the empirical values of the nuclear matter saturation density and binding energy and the isospin symmetry coefficient for asymmetric nuclear matter. The energy per nucleon of nuclear matter as predicted by our calculation is in very good agreement, up to about a density of 4n s (n s =nucleon number density for saturating nuclear matter), with the estimates inferred from heavy-ion collision data. An astrophysical application, relating to neutron star structure, is presentedread more

Measurement of neutron star parameters: A review of methods for low-mass X-ray binaries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the methods based on: (1) thermonuclear X-ray bursts, (2) accretion-powered millisecond-period pulsations, (3) kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations; (4) broad relativistic iron lines; (5) quiescent emissions; and (6) binary orbital motions.

Temperature profiles of accretion discs around rapidly rotating strange stars in general relativity: A comparison with neutron stars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compute the temperature profiles of accretion discs around rapidly rotating stars, using constant gravitational mass equilibrium sequences of these objects, considering the full effect of general relativity.

Mass-radius constraints from a pulse shape model for Hercules X-1
TL;DR: In this paper, an accretion column model is applied to reproduce the pulse shape of Her X-1, which is the observed 35 day sequence of pulse shape changes, which imply a pencil beam from the near pole and a fanbeam from the far pole.

Hybrid stars and quark hadron phase transition in chiral colour dielectric model
TL;DR: In this article, the properties of hybrid stars consisting of quark matter in the core and hadron matter in outer region were investigated by using nonlinear Walecka model.
