Abstract:Previous studies have claimed that there exist correlations among certain nuclear saturation parameters and neutron star observables, such as the slope of the symmetry energy and the radius of a 1.4 ⊙ neutron star. However, it is not clear whether such correlations are physical or spurious, as they are not observed universally for all equation of state models. In this work, we probe the role of vector self-interaction within the framework of the Relativistic Mean Field model and its role in governing the obser… Show more
