Hypernuclear Physics and Compact Stars
arXiv:astro-ph/0703113
Abstract
Hypernuclear physics plays a decisive role for several features of compact star physics. I review the impact of hypernuclear potential depths, two-body hyperon-nucleon and hyperon three-body forces as well as hyperon-hyperon interactions on the maximum mass, the mass-radius relation, and cooling properties of neutron stars.
