The physics of neutron stars.
Neutron stars properties (such as observations on masses,
radii, gravitational redshifts and cooling) provide
interesting challenges.
The central issue is the determination of the equation of
state(EoS).
A major ingredient in the EoS, the density dependence of
the nuclear symmetry energy, will be discussed in some
detail. Results of recent applications of the
self-consistent Green function method are presented and
compared to those of other approaches. Implications for
neutron star properties are discussed, as well as possible
constraints that can be obtained from data on finite
nuclei.
