The radius is of order ≈ 10 km and a mass between 1.4-2.6 M ; The NS was proposed by Baade and Zwicky in 1933 at CALTECH and discovered by Joselyn Bell and Anthony Hewish at Cambridge in 1967. The first theoretical model was proposed by J. Robert Oppenheimer and G. M. Volkoff in 1939; The NS are determined by the EoS (equations of state) at densities ranging from 14 3 r0 ≈ 3x10 g/cm (nuclear density) to 10 r0; The EoS (bulk matter: when mass number A ! ¥) for NS is constrained by empirical 1 symmetric nuclear properties near or equal at r0 and extended for non-symmetric matter; In these stars, causality and relativistic propagation are important dynamical considerations; The NS is not made only by neutrons, but also by electron, protons, muons and other particles that can be created at a specific energy. The inclusion of these particles is needed to maintain charge neutrality and the chemical potential in equilibrium; The processes driven by the weak force (b decay, its inverse and quarks decay) must be taken into account; The stability of neutron star is maintained by degeneracy2 pressure of nucleons plus repelling force (short distances) between them. The same occurs for quark star, however, we only have the contribution of degeneracy pressure from the quarks. 1Neutrons = Protons. q 2 2 2 EF T , where EF = kF + m .

The left side tells how the space is curved in presence of matter-energy by the tensor Gµn. This tensor is equal to −8pT µn and is 0 in the absence of matter. 1 µn µn Rµn − g R ≡ G ; (1) 2 We consider a perfect fluid (the pressure is isotropic in each element of the fluid at the rest frame). The shear stress and heat transport are absent in it. T µn = pgµn + (p + e)uµun (2) where p is the pressure, gµn is the metric, e is the energy density and uµ is the quadri-velocity of the fluid. We want to study the case of a static star and spherically symmetric given by the Schwarzschild metric. The invariant line interval is given by: 2 µ n 2n(r) 2 2l(r) 2 2 2 2 2 2 dt = gµndx dx = e dt − e dr − r dq − r sen qdf ; (3) The Schwarzschild metric is diagonal, thus its components are 2n(r) 2l(r) 2 2 2 g00 = e ; g11 = −e ; g22 = −r ; g33 = −r sen q and gµn = 0 (µ 6= n) (4) Solving the Einstein’s equation for this metric and considering a perfect fluid, we obtain the TOV’s equations[1].

The terms in square brackets are relativistic corrections. These differential coupled equations can be solved using Runge-Kutta method. The evolution of the system occurs in r and the initial conditions for r=0 are: m(r)=0, r(r)= some value and stops every time when p(r6= 0) =0 and jumps to the next r(r) value. The input for solving these equations are the EoS, which may describe nuclear matter, dark matter or quark matter.

In this work, we are considering the entire star made of proton and neutrons for nuclear matter. For quark matter, made of quarks up, down and strange. Charge neutrality and potential chemical equilibrium are not considered here.
