Structure of neutron stars with unified equations of stateAbstract: We present a set of three unified equations of states (EoSs) based on the nuclear energy-density functional (EDF) theory.These EoSs are based on generalized Skyrme forces fitted to essentially all experimental atomic mass data and constrained to reproduce various properties of infinite nuclear matter as obtained from many-body calculations using realistic two- and three-body interactions. The structure of cold isolated neutron stars is discussed in connection with some astrophysical observations.
