Diversities in the properties of neutron stars at a fixed neutron-skin thickness in ${}^{208}$Pb nucleus

Abstract

We study the diversities in the properties of the neutron stars arising due to the different choices for the cross-coupling between various mesons which governs the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy in the extended relativistic mean-field(RMF) model. For this purpose, we obtain two different families of the extended RMF model corresponding to different non-linear cross-coupling term in the isovector part of the effective Lagrangian density. The lowest order contributions for the $\delta$ mesons are also included. The different models within the same family are so obtained that they yield wide variation in the value of neutron-skin thickness in the ${}^{208}$Pb nucleus. These models are employed to compute the neutron star properties such as, core-crust transition density, radius and red shift at canonical mass ($1.4M_{\odot }$), tidal polarizability parameter, and threshold mass required for the enhanced cooling through direct Urca process. Most of the neutron star properties considered are significantly different(10\%-40\%) for the different families of models at a smaller neutron-skin thickness ($\sim 0.15$ fm) in the ${}^{208}$Pb nucleus.
