Pk. Panda et al., Finite temperature neutron matter and rotating neutron stars in the quark meson coupling model - art. no. 038801, PHYS REV C, 6003(3), 1999, pp. 8801
A mean-field description of nonoverlaping nucleon bags bound by the self-co
nsistent exchange of sigma, omega, and rho mesons is used to investigate th
e properties of neutron matter at finite temperature. We use the equation o
f state of zero temperature to study the rotating neutron star in the Komat
su-Eriguchi-Hachisu method. The mass, radius, and angular velocity of the n
eutron star are calculated and compared with the Walecka model. [S0556-2813
