The Nemeth-Sprung equation of state is modified and used to obtain neutron star models. Contrary to the results of some authors it is found that neutron stars with central densities ≲ 1014 g cm-3 are dynamically stable. It is suggested that some pulsars may belong to this category of stars.

For years the theoretical models of neutron star formation and evolution had remained largely unconstrained by observation. Following the Einstein X-ray Observatory surveys of supernova remnants and pulsars, however, strict temperature limits were placed on many putative neutron stars. The Einstein search for additional objects in the class of supernova remnants with embedded pulsars has increased the number of such objects by two. For the four objects in this class, the surface temperature limits (see Table 1) provide meaningful logically sound constraints on the neutron star models. For the future, however, still better X-ray observations are needed, both to increase the number of objects available for study and to refine the spatial and spectral capabilities of the X-ray measurements.

Various methods to study the ground state of neutron star matter are compared and the corresponding neutron star models are contrasted with each other. In the low density region ρ < 1014gr cm-3 the nuclear gas is treated here by means of a Thomas Fermi method and the nuclei are described by the droplet model of Myers and Swiatecki. For ρ > 1014 gr cm-3 both standard Brueckner theory with more realistic interaction (one-boson-exchange) potentials and the semiphenomenological theory of Fermi liquids (together with the standard Reid softcore potential) are applied to neutron star matter. It is shown that while the high mass limit of neutron stars is hardly affected, some properties of lowmass neutron stars such as their binding depend sensitively on these refinements. Various tentative (but unreliable) extensions of the equation of state into high density regime ρ > 1015 gr cm-3 are investigated and it is shown that the mass limit for heavy neutron stars lies around 2.5 solar masses. It is further shown that a third family of stable (hyperon) stars is not forbidden by general relativistic arguments if there is a phase transition at high densities.
