Abstract
A hot nucleus can sustain a maximum temperature before reaching mechan ical instability, the so-called limiting temperature T-lim. The depend ence of T-lim on the nuclear equation of state is analyzed by consider ing different, microscopically founded, equations of state. It is foun d that the value of T-lim can discriminate between different equations of state, even if they have similar critical temperature and compress ibility.
