The effect of the delta-rich hadronic stellar matter in the maximum neutron star mass using the nonlinear Walecka and Zimanyi-Moszkowski models

In this work, the delta-rich hadronic stellar matter condensate is studied in the context of a relativistic mean field calculation for hadrons and mesons using the nonlinear Walecka (NLW) and Zimanyi-Moszkowski (ZM) models. Considering different values of delta-mesons coupling constants we present the delta matter effect in the equation of state in each of these models. Solving numerically the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) equation, we obtain the maximum neutron star mass. We note that the NLW model provides a stiffer equation of state when compared to the ZM model for the same values of delta-mesons coupling constants, and as a consequence gives more massive neutron stars.
