contents We investigate the nuclear equation of state (EoS) for isospin-asymmetric matter using a new set of RMF interactions with the $σ$-$δ$ and $ω$-$ρ$ mixing, referred to as the OMEG family. These interactions are optimized so as to reproduce both terrestrial nuclear measurements and astrophysical constraints extracted from NICER and GW170817. The $σ$-$δ$ mixing softens the nuclear symmetry energy and pressure around twice the saturation density, which enables relatively small neutron-star radii and tidal deformabilities while keeping the nuclear EoS sufficiently stiff at high densities to support $2M_{\odot}$ neutron stars. We find that the curvature parameter, $K_{\textrm{sym}}$, plays an important role in realizing the soft-to-hard behavior of the nuclear EoS, and the astrophysical data favor small or even negative values of $K_{\textrm{sym}}$.
