Equation of State Sub-Library: Version 0.910
Cold Neutron Stars

The class cold_nstar computes the structure of zero-temperature spherically-symmetric neutron stars. It uses tov_solve to compute the structure, given a hadronic equation of state (of type hadronic_eos). It also computes the adiabatic index, the speed of sound, and determines the possibility of the direct Urca process as a function of density or radius.

This class is still experimental.
