Description
In this work, we briefly discuss the equation of state (EOS) for the different layers of a neutron star, from the inner core to the crust, employing the Lowest Order Constrained Variational (LOCV) approach. To this end, we investigate the EOS of quark clusters, kaon-condensed matter, and nuclear matter, as well as the equilibrium composition and energy of the Wigner-Seitz cell in the crust. We also study the influence of strong external magnetic fields on the EOS of nuclear matter. Finally, the excluded volume effect for nucleons is taken into account.
