Hyperon star in a modified quark meson coupling model

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

We determine the equation of state (EOS) of nuclear matter with the inclusion of hyperons in a self-consistent manner by using a Modified Quark Meson Coupling Model (MQMC) where the confining interaction for quarks inside a baryon is represented by a phenomenological average potential in an equally mixed scalar-vector harmonic form. The hadron-hadron interaction in nuclear matter is then realized by introducing additional quark couplings to σσ, ωω, and ρρ mesons through mean-field approximations. The effect of a nonlinear ωω-ρρ term on the equation of state is studied. The hyperon couplings are fixed from the optical potential values and the mass-radius curve is determined satisfying the maximum mass constraint of 22~M⊙_{\odot} for neutron stars, as determined in recent measurements of the pulsar PSR J0348+0432. We also observe that there is no significant advantage of introducing the nonlinear ωω-ρρ term in the context of obtaining the star mass constraint in the present set of parametrizations.
