Relativistic Mean Field

We investigate the properties of mixed stars formed by hadronic and quark matter in β-equilibrium described by appropriate equations of state (EOS) in the framework of relativistic mean-field theory. The calculations were performed for T=0 and for finite temperatures and also for fixed entropies with and without neutrino trapping in order to describe neutron and proto-neutron stars. The star properties are discussed. Maximum allowed masses for proto-neutron stars are much larger when neutrino trapping is imposed.
