A reported 17 MeV boson, which has been proposed as an explanation to the 8Be and 4He anomaly, is investigated in the context of its possible influence to neutron stars structure. Implementing a mX =17 MeV to the nuclear equation of state using different incompressibility values K0=245 MeV and K0=260 MeV and solving Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations, we estimate an upper limit of MTOV ≈ 2.4M⊙ for a non rotating neutron star with span in radius R between 11.5 km to 14 km. Moving away from pure -NN with admixture of 10% protons and simulating possible softening of equation of state due to hyperons, we see that our estimated limits fit quite well inside the newest reported studies, coming from neutron stars merger event, GW190814

Nuclear Models

In this paper, we investigate the cooling of neutron stars with relativistic and nonrelativistic models of dense nuclear matter. We focus on the effects of uncertainties originated from the nuclear models, the composition of elements in the envelope region, and the formation of superfluidity in the core and the crust of neutron stars. Discovery of [Formula: see text] neutron stars PSR J1614−2230 and PSR J0343[Formula: see text]0432 has triggered the revival of stiff nuclear equation of state at high densities. In the meantime, observation of a neutron star in Cassiopeia A for more than 10 years has provided us with very accurate data for the thermal evolution of neutron stars. Both mass and temperature of neutron stars depend critically on the equation of state of nuclear matter, so we first search for nuclear models that satisfy the constraints from mass and temperature simultaneously within a reasonable range. With selected models, we explore the effects of element composition in the envelope region, and the existence of superfluidity in the core and the crust of neutron stars. Due to uncertainty in the composition of particles in the envelope region, we obtain a range of cooling curves that can cover substantial region of observation data.

Using the modern equations of state derived from microscopic calculations, we have calculated the neutron star structure. For the neutron star, we have obtained a minimum mass about 0.1 M⊙ which is nearly independent of the equation of state, and a maximum mass between 1.47 M⊙ and 1.98 M⊙ which is strongly dependent on the equation of state. It is shown that among the equations of state of neutron star matter which we have used, the stiffest one leads to higher maximum mass and radius and lower central density. It is seen that the given maximum mass for the Reid-93 equation of state shows a good consistency with the accurate observations of radio pulsars. We have indicated that the thickness of neutron star crust is very small compared to the predicted neutron star radius.
