| contents | The macroscopic model is formulated for a neutron star (NS) as a perfect liquid drop at the equilibrium. We use
the leptodermic approximation $a/R\ll 1$, where $a$ is the crust thickness of the effective NS surface (ES), and $R$ is the mean radius
of the ES curvature. Within the approximate Schwarzschild metric solution to the general relativity theory equations for the spherically
symmetric systems, the macroscopic gravitation is taken into account in terms of the total separation particle energy and incompressibility.
Density distribution $ρ$ across the ES in the normal direction to the ES was obtained analytically for a general form of the energy density
$\mathcal{E}(ρ)$. For the typical crust thickness, and effective radius, one finds the leading expression for the density $ρ$. NS masses
are analytically calculated as a sum of the volume and surface terms, taking into account the radial curvature of the metric space, in reasonable
agreement with the recently measured masses for several neutron stars. We derive the simple macroscopic equation of state (EoS) with the surface
correction. The analytical and numerical solutions to Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations for the pressure are in good agreement with the volume
part of our EoS. |
