Abstract:
   A new and highly precise numerical approach for computing stationary 
   rotating stellar configurations in general relativity has been employed to 
   construct rotating neutron star models. Fourteen equations of state (EOS) 
   of cold dense matter have been used to produce a "catalog" of thousands 
   neutron star models, parametrized by the EOS, the central energy density 
   and the angular velocity. The results are presented in a series of tables 
   for each EOS. A particular emphasis is put on the properties of maximal 
   mass models. These latter are useful to constrain the EOS, taking into 
   account the observed pulsars.

Note (1): Equations of state
 Relativistiv models
  DiazII: Pure neutron matter, n-n interaction mediated via exchange of
     {sigma}, {pi}, {rho}, {omega} mesons. Ground state calculated by using
     renormalized Hartree approximation (Diaz Alonso 1985).
  HKP: Pure neutron matter, n-n interaction mediated via exchange of {sigma},
     {omega}, {pi}, {rho} mesons. Calculating using an effective Lagrangian,
     done within the Hartree approximation. This particular model fits
     saturation density of nuclear matter n0-0.17fm^-3^ (Haensel et al. 1981).
  Glend1: "Case 1" model of Glendenning (1985). Baryon matter including
     nucleons, hyperons, {DELTA}s, and a pion condensate, in beta equilibrium
     with leptons. Strong interactions described by an effective Lagrangian,
     including couplings of baryons to {sigma}, {omega}, {pi}, {rho}, K mesons.
     Couplings of hyperons to meson fields reduced as compared to those of
     nucleons and {DELTA}s. Hartree approximation for the ground state.
  Glend2: "Case 2" model of Glendenning (1985). Similar to Glend1, but with no
     pion condensation because of an assumed repulsion between couplings of all
     baryons.
  Glend3: "Case 3" model of Glendenning (1985). Similar to Glend2, but with
     universal couplings of all baryons.
  WGW: For nb<0.3fm^-3^, neutron matter described using {LAMBDA}^00^ ladder
     approximation, with realistic Bonn meson-exchange interaction. For
     n>0.3fm^-3^, baryon matter described using relativistic Hartree
     approximation with effective Lagrangian, including couplings of nucleons
     and hyperons to {sigma}, {omega}, {pi}, {rho}, {eta}, {delta} mesons
     (Weber et al. 1991).
 Non-relativistic potential models
  PandN: Pure neutron matter. Interaction described by the Reid soft core
     potential. Ground state calculating using variational method
     (Pandharipande 1971). Causal at the densities encountered in
     neutron stars.
  BJ1: Baryon matter composed of nucleons, hyperons and {DELTA}s, in beta
     equilibrium with leptons. Baryon-baryon interaction described by the
     modified Reid soft core potential. Ground state calculated using
     variational method. This is model IH of Bethe & Johnson (1974) (see also
     Malone et al. 1975). Causal at the densities encountered in neutron stars.
  FP: Neutron matter, with nucleon-nucleon interaction described by a two-body
     Urbana UV_14_ potential, combined with a phenomenological three-neutron TNI
     interaction. Ground state of neutron matter calculated using variational
     method (Friedman & Pandharipande 1981). Non-causal at n>1fm^-3^.
  WFF(AV_14_+UVII): Nucleon matter in beta equilibrium with electrons and muons.
     Interaction described by a two-body Argonne AV_14_ potential, combined with
     phenomenological three-nucleon UVII interaction. Ground state of matter
     calculated in a very good approximation using sophisticated variational
     method (Wiringa et al., 1988). Non-causal at n>1.1fm^-3^
  WFF(UV_14_+TNI): Nucleon matter in beta equilibrium with electrons and muons.
     Interaction described by a two-body Urbana UV_14_ potential, combined with
     a phenomenological three-nucleon TNI interaction. Ground state of matter
     calculated in a very good approximation using sophisticated variational
     method (Wiringa et al., 1988). Causal at the densities relevant for neutron
     stars.
  WFF(UV_14_+UVII): Nucleon matter in beta equilibrium with electrons and muons.
     Interaction described by a two-body Urbana UV_14_ potential, combined with
     a phenomenological three-nucleon UVII interaction. Ground state of matter
     calculated in a very good approximation using sophisticated variational
     method (Wiringa et al., 1988). Non-causal at n>1fm^-3^
 Schematic analytic models
  Pol2: Polytrope p = {kappa}n^{gamma},
     e=m_B_n+({kappa/({gamma}-1))n^{gamma} with {kappa}=1m_B_fm^3^
     and {gamma}=2. Causal at all n.
  CLES: Causality-limit EOS. BJ1 model up to n=n*=0.3fm^-3^, continued by a
     schematic EOS p=e-e*+p*, where p*=p(n*), e*=e(n*) are given analytically
     (see Eq.3 of Haensel & Proszynski 1982). Maximally stiff while causal
     (velocity of sound = c) above n*.
