ABSTRACT

Langer et al. 1969

Langer, W.D., L.C. Rosen, J.M. Cohen, and A.G.W. Cameron, 1969: An equation of state at subnuclear densities. Astrophys. Space Sci., 5, 259-271, doi:10.1007/BF00649994.

An equation of state for cold matter above white dwarf densities is evaluated. The gas is considered to be a mixture of degenerate neutrons, protons and electrons combined with nuclei of one type (that is only one A and Z value). We derive the equilibrium equations for the mixture and calculate the number densities as well as the A and Z of the nucleus. Finally we calculate an equation of state, which smoothly goes over to that of a neutron, proton electron gas mixture at a density of 5×1013 g/cm3.
