========================== README.TXT =============================== DATED: 05.03.2013 ARTICLE INFORMATION Journal: Int. J. of Mass Spectrom. (2013) All Authors: Susanne Kreim, Matthias Hempel, David Lunney and Jürgen Schaffner-Bielich Title: Nuclear Masses and Neutron Stars DEPOSIT INFORMATION Description: Seven different equations of state and chemical compositions of the outer crust of nonaccreting cold neutron stars (T=0 and beta-equilibrium), calculated with the model by Baym, Pethick and Sutherland (Astrophys. J. 170, 299 (1971)) which was extended by higher order corrections as described in Pearson et al. (Phys. Rev. C 83, 065810 (2011)). The different equations of state are based on different theoretical nuclear models for which the references are given in the main article. In all calculations, the Ame2012 atomic mass evaluation by Wang et al. (Chin. Phys. C 36, 1603 (2012)) and the new measurements of the ISOLTRAP collaboration (Wolf et al., Phys. Rev. L. 110, 041101 (2013)) are used. Every file contains a table with the following columns: mu_b [MeV]: baryon chemical potential including rest mass mu_e [MeV]: electron chemical potential including rest mass rho [g/cm^3]: relativistic mass density (internal energy density/c^2) P [dyne/cm^2]: total pressure n_b [1/cm^3]: baryon number density El. []: chemical symbol of the groundstate nucleus A []: mass number of the groundstate nucleus Z []: charge or proton number of the groundstate nucleus N []: neutron number of the groundstate nucleus Gamma []: adiabatic index The first two lines of each file contain the header. The format of the output which was used for the following lines is (Fortran77): f10.6,f11.6,3e14.6,a4,3i5,f10.6 Total No. of Files: 8 File Names: readme_ame12_isoltrap.txt, hfb8_ame12_isoltrap.eos, msk7_ame12_isoltrap.eos, skp_ame12_isoltrap.eos, frdm_ame12_isoltrap.eos, hfb19_ame12_isoltrap.eos, hfb20_ame12_isoltrap.eos, hfb21_ame12_isoltrap.eos File Types: .txt and .eos; both are plain text files Contact Information: Matthias Hempel, Department of Physics, University of Basel, Klingelbergstr. 82, 4056 Basel, Switzerland; Phone: +41 61 267-3753; Fax: +41 61 267-1349; E-Mail: matthias.hempel(at)unibas.ch =====================================================================
