The code given below generates models of general relativistic neutron stars in hydrostatic equilibrium. A zero temperature nuclear equation of state is included. The code is presently set to generate the central density - mass plot below. Uncommenting a few lines will generate the radial profiles.

plus two include files:
implno.dek
const.dek
plus a nuclear eos (Bethe-Johnson 1974)
eosC



A rapidly rotating neutron star code and several other nuclear equation of state files (which I used to make the plot above) are avaliable from Nikolaos Stergioulas's web page.
 



Please cite the relevant references if you publish a piece of work that use these codes, pieces of these codes, or modified versions of them. If you're nice, offer co-authorship of the publication. At best, you'll love these programs so much that you'll send great wads of cash to me.
