Description
In this talk, a set of unified equations of state (EoSs) of neutron-star matter calculated within the nuclear energy-density functional theory, and based on generalised Skyrme energy-density functionals developed by the Brussels-Montreal collaboration, will be presented. The structure of neutron stars constructed with these EoSs will be discussed in connection with both recent astrophysical observations and nuclear-matter parameters, for both accreting and non-accreting neutron stars.
