Finite-temperature equation of state with hyperons

Abstract

We present the novel finite-temperature FSU2H* equation-of-state model that covers a wide range of temperatures and lepton fractions for the conditions in proto-neutron stars, neutron star mergers and supernovae. The temperature effects on the thermodynamical observables and the composition of the neutron star core are stronger when the hyperonic degrees of freedom are considered. We pay a special attention to the temperature and density dependence of the thermal index in the presence of hyperons and conclude that the true thermal effects cannot be reproduced with the use of a constant Г law
