HIGH-PRECISION ROTATING NEUTRON-STAR MODELS .2. LARGE-SAMPLE OF NEUTRON-STAR PROPERTIES

A new and highly precise numerical approach for computing stationary r otating stellar configurations in general relativity has been employed to construct rotating neutron star models. Fourteen equations of stat e (EOS) of cold dense matter have been used to produce a ''catalog'' o f thousands neutron star models, parametrized by the EOS, the central energy density and the angular velocity. The results are presented in a series of tables for each EOS. A particular emphasis is put on the p roperties of maximal mass models. These latter are useful to constrain the EOS, taking into account the observed pulsars.
