Neutron star properties with nuclear BHF equations of state
  We study the properties of static and rotating neutron stars adopting non-relativistic equations of state (EOS) for asymmetric nuclear matter based on the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (BHF) scheme. The BHF calculation, with the continuous choice for the single particle potential, appears to be very close to the full EOS, which includes the three-hole line contribution calculated by solving the Bethe-Fadeev equations within the gap choice for the single particle potential. Three-body forces are included in order to reproduce the correct saturation point for nuclear matter. A comparison with fully relativistic many-body calculations of nuclear matter EOS is made.
