8 Macro: How to compute compact stars The Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations (TOV) are: general relativistic equations to determine the mass-radius relations of compact stars Input is an Equation of State (EoS): p(ɛ) where ɛ(r) dm dr dp dr = 4πr 2 ɛ(r) = Gɛ(r)m(r) r 2 ( 1 + p(r) ) ( 1 + 4πr 3 ) ( p(r) 1 2Gm(r) ) 1 ɛ(r) m(r) r (8 / 33) Hybrid stars within a SU(3) Quark Meson model A. Zacchi, M. Hanauske, J. Schaffner-Bielich
