Equations of State

For strongly interacting matter

Welcome

This website is being created in order to provide state of the art tabulations for equations of state (EOS) for strongly interacting matter. The format of the data files is supposed to be used in applications for astrophysics and heavy-ion collisions, although the current version covers only astrophysics.

The following datafiles are free for academic and scientific usage. They are not meant for commercial use. If you are redistributing the files for above mentioned purposes or use them in publications, please refer to the associated publications. Each datafile has an attached document with a list of associated publications.

At the moment, all files are provided in the Shen98 format. It is a ASCII datafile with fixed line definitions and separated blocks of data. Details are given in the attached document of the datafiles. I plan to create a more comprehensive, yet easier to read format in the near future. Mostl likely I will go with a standart CSV format and/or a json/bson format, because they are fully supported by all modern programming languages.

If you want to be informed about new EOS tables being published or crucial updates to the existing tables, I invite you to subscribe to the Newsletter.

RDF 1

RDF 1.* a set of equation of state models with a first-order phase transition from hadron to quark matter presented in Bastian (2021). This publication focuses on the super-saturated regime and for the treatment of nuclear clusters below saturation the nuclear statistical equilibrium with excluded volume approach of Hempel & Schaffner-Bielich (2010) is used. All information about the nuclear treatment and the hadronic reference EOS can be found on the website of Matthias Hempel. The relativistic density function treatment, as it is used for the high density regime and in particular the string-flip model for quarks was introduced by Kaltenborn et.al. (2017) with applications to neutron star configurations. The current extension of this model to finite temperature and arbitrary chargefractions was successfully applied to core-collapse supernova simulations (Fischer et.al. 2017) and binary neutron star merger simulations (Bauswein et al., 2019, 2020; Blacker et al., 2020).

The EOS tables are available in the Shen98 format. You can find them in the CompOSE repository as well. Below you can select the particular EOS you want to download and if you want to have electrons (for electric charge neutrality) already included.
