The frequencies and damping times of the axial w-mode oscillations of neutron stars are investigated using a nuclear equation of state (EOS) partially constrained by the available terrestrial laboratory data. It is found that the nuclear symmetry energy E sym (ρ), especially its high density behavior, plays an important role in determining both the eigen-frequencies and the damping times of these oscillations.

Background: We analyze several constraints on the nuclear equation of state (EOS) currently available from neutron star (NS) observations and laboratory experiments and study the existence of possible correlations among properties of nuclear matter at saturation density with NS observables. Methods: We use a set of different models that include several phenomenological EOSs based on Skyrme and relativistic mean field models as well as microscopic calculations based on different many-body approaches, i.e., the (Dirac–)Brueckner–Hartree–Fock theories, Quantum Monte Carlo techniques, and the variational method. Results: We find that almost all the models considered are compatible with the laboratory constraints of the nuclear matter properties as well as with the largest NS mass observed up to now, 2.14−0.09+0.10M⊙ for the object PSR J0740+6620, and with the upper limit of the maximum mass of about 2.3–2.5M⊙ deduced from the analysis of the GW170817 NS merger event. Conclusion: Our study shows that whereas no correlation exists between the tidal deformability and the value of the nuclear symmetry energy at saturation for any value of the NS mass, very weak correlations seem to exist with the derivative of the nuclear symmetry energy and with the nuclear incompressibility.

Many efforts are made to determine the nuclear equation of state which governs the properties and evolution of neutron stars. Especially important is to constrain the parameters of the nuclear symmetry energy. In those efforts, nuclear energy density functional (EDF) theory has been a very useful tool, as it provides a unified framework for the description both of nuclei, which can be studied on Earth, and of infinite matter and its nuclear equation of state, which is a necessary input in the modelling of neutron stars. In the present study, a new nuclear EDF, the KIDS functional, is explored with a focus on the nuclear symmetry energy. The form of the functional allows us to vary at will the poorly constrained high-order derivatives of the symmetry energy and examine how the maximum possible mass of a neutron star is affected. Some tentative constraints on the skewness are presented, which will help guide further refinements. It is noteworthy that the pressure of neutron-rich matter is found strongly affected by skewness variations, both at low and high densities.

Theoretical Predictions

We study the effect of nuclear equation of state on the tidal polarizability of neutron stars. The predicted equations of state for the β-stable nuclear matter are parameterized by varying the slope L of the symmetry energy at saturation density on the interval 65 MeV≤L≤115 MeV. The effects of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy on the neutron star tidal polarizability are presented and analyzed. A comparison of theoretical predictions with the recent observation predictions is also performed and analyzed.
