Thermodynamics, Relativistic Mean Field Modeling, and Transport for Neutron Star Matter. A Self-Consistent Framework for Equations of State, Opacities, and Uncertainty Quantification

https://doi.org/10.65770/FFGL9154 ABSTRACT We present a unified, reproducible framework that integrates rigorous thermodynamics, relativistic mean‑field (RMF) theory, neutrino and photon opacity modeling, and uncertainty quantification to construct finite-temperature equations of state (EOS) and transport inputs for neutron‑star applications. The paper derives thermodynamic potentials and response…
