The equation of state of neutron stars and the role of nuclear experiments

Abstract

Neutron stars are unique laboratories to probe matter in extreme conditions, not accessible in terrestrial laboratories. Here, we discuss the modelling of the neutron-star equation of state, particularly in connection with recent constraints coming from both nuclear physics (experiments and ab-initio calculations) and astrophysical observations.
